Ive been thinking about What you said last night And for all your fine words You still dont have it right cause thats the way that it is And you wont ever change You can scream at me But the powers that be Wont ever hear your voice cause theyre lost In their own importance No, theyll never hear your voice cause thats the way that it is And you wont ever change it Ive heard all your stories Of how the few can be strong And how youll fight to the end Just to prove me wrong cause thats the way that you are And you wont ever change it But dont come cryin to me If your fanciful schemes Dont turn out like you planned cause youre chasin After something That keeps slippin Through your hand Thats the way that it is And you wont change it
