The Way It Is lyrics
Song information
Artist: Zero Down Album: With A Lifetime To Pay
Lyrics
My father told me "son, it's ok to have ideals But beliefs against your government well that won't pay your bills You can raise your fists and publicly resist But in the end corruption still exists And no protest song will ever change the world When everybody does exactly as they're told In the end every man works for what is his You can fight the world, but that's just how it is"
Your words are not meaningless to me And I feel their honesty but it's my life I gotta figure out for me It's what I've always done not what I have become And I know the consequences that'll come And if I never reach the world or speak to people's souls It's a passion that won't die as I grow old It's what I choose to do It may not work for you but to myself I know I must be true
And I am not ashamed to stand right where I've stood My beliefs they are unchanged because I believe they should And I'll measure my success one word at a time If the truth is spoken will I stand the second time
