מילים לשיר The Way It Is – Zero Down

My father told me
Son, it's OK to have ideals,
but beliefs against your government well that won't pay your bills.
but in the end corruption still exists.
You can raise your fists and publicly resist And no protest song will ever change the world.
In the end every man works for what is his.
When everybody does exactly as they're told.
You can fight the world, but that's just how it is I feel their honesty but it's my life that I gotta figure out for me.
It's what I've always done, not what I have become
You're words are not meaningless to me,
and I know the consequences that will come.
it's a passion that will not die as I grow old.
And if I never reach the world or speak to people's souls
it may not work for you but to myself I know I must be true.
It's what I choose to do In the end every man works for what is his.
And no protest song will ever change the world.
When everybody does exactly as they're told.
You can fight the world, but that's just how it is
I am not ashamed to stand right where I've stood.
My beliefs they are unchanged because I believe they should. And I'll measure my success one word at a time.
If the truth is spoken will I stand the test of time.
