Well don't blame me Cause it's not my world I didn't make the mess you got,
You get what ya give You give what ya get And sometimes it's not a lot,
From Boston to New York LA and Tokyo People all the same to me, They all need to stop Take a look at themselves And find more than misery, Yeah! (Go)
That's the way The way it is, That's the way, The way that we live
Don't back down Don't ever give in, now That's the way that it is,
Now take it or leave it (Hey) Change it or beat it(Hey) I know just where it's at,
You can run, you can hide But you never realize You're living just like a rat,
The cops and the killers Some saints and some sinners People that you'll never know,
They oughta make a story For death or for glory Sometimes you gotta go, (Got ta go!) (Go)
That's the way The way it is, That's the way The way that we live
Don't back down Don't ever give in, now Thats the way that it is
That's the way The way it is, That's the way The way that we live,
Don't back down Don't ever give in, now That's the way that it is
(Come on, damn!) Check this out, You knowing those streets Like the back of your hand But still there ain't a person That could ever understand The more that you look The less that you've found People everywhere but no one's around (C'mon)
That's the way The way it is, That's the way The way that we live,
Don't back down Don't ever give in, now That's the way that it is
That's the way The way it is, That's the way The way that we live
Don't back down Don't ever give in That's the way that it is
(Al-al-alright!)
That's the way, That's the way Don't ever give in, now
That's the way, That's the way Don't ever give in, now
That's the way Don't back down That's the way Don't ever give in, now
