Some people talk when they ought to be listening
Ramblin' on maybe they don't know
That you can't learn anything when you're mouth is moving
That's the way it is you better get used to it
That's just the way it goes
Daddy told me back when I was just little
Life's gonna hand you nothing but a hard row to hoe
The worlds gonna be unfair and nothing's gonna come easy
That's the way it is you better get used to it
That's just the way it goes
It is what it is you can't run and you can't hide
You gotta keep on smiling keep on living and enjoy the ride
Look all around and see what it's come down to
The brand new normal in the cities everywhere you go
Everybody living their lives while looking back over their shoulder
Yeah that's the way it is we better get used to it
That's just the way it goes
It is what it is you can't run and you can't hide
You gotta keep on smiling keep on living and enjoy the ride
Politicians talk when they ought to be listening
Carrying on I guess they don't know
That you don't learn a damn thing when you're mouth is moving
That's the way it is you better get used to it
That's just the way it goes
