1. Bruce Hornsby - the way it is
Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
cause they cant buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies eyes
Just for fun he says get a job
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
They say hey little boy you cant go
Where the others go
cause you dont look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, son
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
Well they passed a law in 64
To give those who aint got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law anothers mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
Thats just the way it is
Some things will never change
Thats just the way it is
But dont you believe them
2. Bryan Ferry - slave to love
Tell her i´ll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
There´s no escape
To need a woman
You´ve got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
You´re running with me
Don´t touch the ground
We´re restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We´re too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
No I can´t escape
I´m a slave to love
