Lyric The Way it Is

If you hear a politician
Or a singer making song
Do you just refuse to listen
Knowing that he must be wrong
That s the way it is, you know,
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
Or tell you who to be

I will show you what I know
Sometimes we will disagree
If we learn at all to grow
Then I have done my small duty
That s the way it is, you know,
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
Or tell you who to be

I could bring my favorite flower
Maybe yours would be the same
Maybe we would argue hours
Over the fair flower s name
That s the way it is, you know,
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
Or tell you who to be

If I brought my good friends home
And set a welcome table place
Could you see them past their clothing
Or past the color of their face
That s the way it is, you know,
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
Or tell you who to be

That s the way it is, you know
You just see what you want to see
Who am I to tell you how to think
