How It Is

Get grades, toe the line Keep your behind above the water in the meantime Join the corporate pyramid I couldn't blame you if you did Until you sell out your brother while your sister falls Playin' daddy, doing the company crawl You don't deserve your daughter's kiss, it's sad That's how it is Well, uptown there's been more than an oil spill Another woman beaten, raped, blood spilled, male hate The paper's couldn't wait, racism, sell this Well there's excusin' in what I'm saying It's just that there's a million colors praying For real justice that's how it really is You just get born, keep on keepin' on Defend yourself against the worries Try and have fun Party on until your number's picked But beware 'cause the fight is fixed It was them but it could be you next Paranoia saves lives So if you wanna exist Get your head round this That's how it is That's how it is That's how it is That's how it is ... --- How It Is - Aztec Camera
