The Tunics - The Way It Is lyrics

Once upon a time in a town no different to ours Where the stars don't shine and the birds don't sing And the only thoughts are that of stealing cars Or taking the next phone that rings You pull together in different ways Just to make it through the day And the people rise where the sun don't set And that's about as good as it gets But that's the way it is… Here's a story of a man and his volatile crimes He makes a quick getaway as the church bell chimes Looks down at his watch as his life flies by As the mother's they scream and they cry He's never really looked in the mirror before He's afraid of what he might see You know you get what you pay for And you don't get nothing for free In this life He's a short young man, living a short young life He wants to pay for his life of strife He knows what he's doing and he knows it's wrong But hey, it gives you reason to sing your song He's never really looked in the mirror before He's afraid of what he might see You know you get what you pay for And you don't get nothing for free But that's the way it is… And the boys in blue, well what do they do If it doesn't hurt you, then it doesn't affect you And these c*nts hang out in groups on ten They like to hurt you when you hang out with your friends They never really look in the mirror before They're afraid of what they might see You know you get what you pay for And you don't get nothing for free But that's the way it is I can do what I wanna do I can see what I wanna see I can live how I wanna live I can be who I wanna be I can go where I wanna go I can know what I wanna no I'll be who I wanna be See who I wanna see ETC
