That's Just the Way It Is Now Songtext

von Rancid

Car lights flash my eyes blinded
Hypnotized lord knows i'm livin and i'm
Bever comin back now one generation
Dies next one wins the prize and that's
The big surprise there's demise in all
Of their lie it's never to late to realize

That's just the way things are that's just
The way it is now

I walk through the cemetery it's all empty
Now I put a rose on the grave of a fallen
Hero and I look out into the wild all I
See is emptiness so much loneliness I
Just want forgiveness

That's just the way things are....

When dreams fade away it won't be long
End up singing the same old song what
Went right what went wrong bad times
Here good times gone first rule they
Always sell second rule never tell
Third rule straight to hell white collar
Criminals livin in jail it's all that
They give sold your soul to get paid
But you end up in an early grave your
Own neck you can't save it's a letter
That you can't send it's a wound that will
Never mend pain level peaks at ten
Some stand out some stand in

That's just the way things are....
