The Way It Is Lyrics - Singles - Sacred Reich

We knew your reputation 

We thought that things could be different 

You just proved us wrong 

And now you're up to your same old tricks 

I guess we learned a lesson 

That people don't change overnight 

Things will work out well 

With a little hard work, it'll be alright 

How could we be so foolish 

To rush head first, without a thought 

Guess it goes to show 

If you're unprepared you will get caught 

But now we've learned a lesson 

A lesson which we won't forget 

With our newfound wisdom 

Things will work out in the end 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality 

You seemed so sincere 

We'd work together, it'd be lot's of fun 

But all you saw was money 

It's not the issue 'til the music's done 

To you it's doing business 

To us it's doing what we love 

We'll just do our thing 

We won't give in for a buck 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality 

Like a soul attaining heaven 

We must ascend to greater heights 

Got to make a change 

Got to make a change, the time is right 

Now I wish you well 

And thank you for what you've done for me 

To quote you Mr. Businessman 

There's things in life that aren't free 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality 

This is the way it is 

Not how things should be 

This is the way it is 

This is reality
