The Way It Is (Lyrics) - Matt Henshaw

Please allow me just a minute of your time
For a quick question, a simple survey of mine
Ever get the feeling you're going nowhere?
Don't worry brother, that's a feeling we all share

Oh, that's just The Way It Is
It'll be alright in the end my friend
Oh, that's exactly how it is
And I'm telling you just because you are my friend, my friend

We are all heading in the same direction
All nursing through the same complications
Do we suffer for the money or for our art?
It's the things that drive us, they are driving us apart

Oh, that's just The Way It Is
It'll be alright in the end my friend
Oh, that's exactly how it is
And I'm telling you just because you are my friend, my friend

Well, the road gets hard a dusty when you've heard a thousand times
The same old lies through the same old eyes
But as longs as I've got you and as long as you've got me
We are together now and we can purely be

Oh, that's just The Way It Is
It'll be alright in the end my friend
Oh, that's exactly how it is
And I'm telling you just because you are my friend, my friend
