Track 3 from the 1990 album, The American Way
LYRICS:
We knew your reputation, we hoped that things could be different.
But you just proved us wrong, and now you're up to your same old tricks.
I guess we learned a lesson, that people don't change overnight.
Things will work out well, with a little hard work, it'll be alright.
How could we be so foolish? To rush head first, without a thought.
I guess it goes to show, if your unprepared you will get caught.
But now we've learned a lesson, a lesson which we won't forget.
With our newfound wisdom, things will work out, in the end.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
You seemed so sincere, we'd work together it'd be lot's of fun.
But all you saw was money, it's not the issue 'til the music's done.
To you it's doing business, to us it's doing what we love.
We'll just do our thing, we won't give in for a buck.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
Like a soul attaining heaven, we must ascend to greater heights.
Got to make a change, got to make a change, the time is right.
Now I wish you well, and thank you for what you've done for me.
To quote you "Mr. Businessman", there's things in life that aren't free.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
This is the way it is, not how things should be.
This is the way it is, this is reality.
