I've been thinking about,
What you said last night,
And all your fine words
You still don't have it right,
'cause that's the way that it is,
And you won't never change it.
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,
Yes 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
Guess you'll never change.
But don't come crying to me,
If your fanciful schermes
Don't turn out like you planned,
'cause you're chasing after something
That keeps slipping through your hands
