    1. That's just the way it isSome things'll never changeThat's just the way it isAh, but don't you believe them

      Here is the chorus of the song: at first, the singer's reaction to the widespread inquality that dominates the society seems to coincide with a resigned acceptation of the status quo. The feeling of quiet resignation amplifies as the song goes on, reaching its climax when the singer makes reference to the Civil Rights Act and, therefore, establishing a parallelism between the present and the past. However, the chorus closes with a glimpse of hope: indeed, the author invites the audience not to believe to inevitability, thus suggesting that things may change if only people started thinking and acting differently. As a matter of fact, the singer himself insists upon this last verse: "Some things will never change is a statement of resignation, but the most important line in that song is the one that comes after that: But don't you believe them. So I've always been about being strong when resignation is a possibility. Trying to pull up from that and have a positive outlook so that things can change" (http://www.musicfordemocracy.org/node/34.html).

      Your turn: do you think that injustice and inequality will ever be defeated?
