It's like that
Unemployment at a record high.
People coming, people going, people born to die.
Don't ask me, because I don't know why.
But it's like that, and that's the way it is.
People in the world try to make ends meet.
You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet.
I said you got to work hard to want to compete.
It's like that, and that's the way it is! Huh!

Money is the key to end all your woes.
Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows.
Won't you tell me last time that love bought you clothes?
It's like that, and that's the way it is.
Bills fly higher every day.
We receive much lower pay.
I'd rather stay young, go out and play.
It's like that, and that's the way it is! Huh!

When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts.
For a meaning in life is why you search.
Take the boys on the train, drive to school or the church.
It's like that, and that's the way it is.
Here's another point in life you should not miss.
Do not be a fool who's prejudiced.
Because we're all written down on the same list
It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is! Huh!

(Chorus)
You know it's like that, and that's the way it is.
Because it's like that, and that's the way it is.

(Repeat chorus x3)
