    Question Mike and the Mechanics?

    Please help with this song.
    It starts out with great piano playing. Some of the lyrics are "that's just the way it is, some things will never change. That's just the way it is. Ah, but don't you belive it"...
    Artist, title??
    Thank you in advance.

    Bruce Hornsby - "The Way It Is" ??

    Standing in line marking time
    Waiting for the welfare dime
    'Cause they can't buy a job
    A man in a silk suit hurries by
    As he catches the poor old lady's eyes
    Just for fun he says, "Get a job"

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    Ah, but don't you believe them

    They say, "Hey little boy you can't go
    Where the others go
    'Cause you don't look like they do"
    Said, "Hey old man
    How can you stand to think that way
    Did you really think about it
    Before you made the rules"
    He said, son

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    Ah, but don't you believe them

    Well they passed a law in '64
    To give those who ain't got a little more
    But it only goes so far
    Because the law don't change in another's mind
    When all it sees AT the hiring time
    Is the line on the color bar

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
    Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice
    Y Ddraig Goch ddyry gychwyn
