The Tunics-The Way It Is

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 cunts 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
