The Way It Is

We'll build you up, tear you down

To live like we used to

Believe in it while you can

Before it all lets you down

We'll crush your narrow opinion

To tell it how it is

It's out of date, out of date

And that's just the way it is

We've got you right, got you right

Force everything you need

You live by an easy life

Why don't you let it in?

It's a culture shock, culture shock

Well tell it to the police

You're out of date, rushing in

And that's just the way it is

I've got ideas

You got more fear than anything

It all got pushed out in a rush to your, rush to your

head

Can't tell us what to think

It's out of date, out of date

And that's just the way it is

We've got enough

We've got a right to be, right to be wrong

Well come on and stop me

Well everybody says around me

Why don't you let it in?

We'll build you up, tear you down

To live like we used to

Believe in it while you can

Before it will let you down

It amounts to nothing

It's a culture shock, culture shock

Well tell it to the police

You're out of date, out of date

And that's just the way it is

Yeah that's just the way it is

Yeah that's just the way it is

Well that's just the way it is

And that's just the way it is

Will I know?
