Huzzah! My introduction, complete with Now Playing, Midi Archive, and Shameless Plugs is back online! And with a new midi, too. (Yeah, I know it's late, but can you blame me? And besides, it's only 1:10 AM for me right now, so it's not very late).
Anyway, about the song, this is another one that I found in my brother's mp3 collection. I think the tune and lyrics have a nice flow to them, and I really like the use of the piano in it. When used right, I love the sound of a piano in a song.
That's Just the Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby
Standing in line marking time--
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't 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
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
They say, hey little boy you can't go
Where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said, hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
And did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, sure, but
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them
Well they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
