That's The Way That It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been thinking about / What you said last night / And for all your fine words / You still don't have it right / 'Cause that's the way that it is / And you won't ever change / You can scream at me / But the powers that be / Won't ever hear your voice / 'Cause they're lost / In their own importance / No,
they'll never hear your voice / 'Cause that's the way that it is / And you won't ever change it / I've heard all your stories / Of how the few can be strong / And how you'll fight to the end / Just to prove me wrong / 'Cause that's the way that you are / And you won't ever change it / But don't come cryin' to me / If your fanciful schemes / Don't turn out like you planned / 'Cause you're chasin' / After something / That keeps slippin' / Through your hand / That's the way that it is / And you won't change it
