That's The Way That It Is Lyrics - Uriah Heep

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 

I've heard all your stories 

Of how the few can be strong 

And how you'll fight to the end 

Just to prove me wrong 

'Cause that's the way that you are 

And you won't ever change it 

But don't come cryin' to me 

If your fanciful schemes 

Don't turn out like you planned 

'Cause you're chasin' 

After something 

That keeps slippin' 

Through your hand 

That's the way that it is 

And you won't change it
