Uriah Heep — That's The Way That It Is lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still don’t have it right
'Cause that’s the way that it is And you won’t ever change
You can scream at me But the powers that be Won’t ever hear your voice
'Cause they’re lost
In their own importance
No, they’ll never hear your voice
'Cause that’s the way that it is And you won’t ever change it Now I’ve heard all your stories
Of how the few can be strong
How you’ll fight to the end
Just to prove me wrong
'Cause that’s the way that it is And you won’t ever change it So don’t come cryin' to me If your fanciful schemes
Don’t turn out like you planned
'Cause you’re chasing
After something
That keeps slipping
Through your hand
