Well dont blame be
Cause it's not my world
I didn't make the mess you got

You get what ya give
You give what ya get
And sometimes it's not a lot

From Boston to New York
LA to Tokyo
People always say to me

They all need to stop
Take a look at themselves
And find more than misery

[Yeah!]

That's the way
The way it is
That's the way
The way that we live

Don't back down
Don't ever give in
That's the way that it is

Now take it or leave it (hey!)
Change it or be it (hey!)
I know just where it's at

You can run, you can hide
But you never realize
You're living just like a rat

The cops and the killers
Some saints and some sinners
People that you'll never know

They all make a story
For death or for glory
Sometimes you gotta go

[Got ta go!]

That's the way
The way it is
That's the way
The way that we live

Don't back down
Don't ever give in
Thats the way that it is

That's the way
The way it is
That's the way
The way that we live

Don't back down
Don't ever give in
That's the way that it is

[Check this out]

You knowing those streets
Like the back of your hand
But still there ain't a person
That could ever understand
The more that you look
The less that you've found
People everywhere but no one's around

[C'mon]

That's the way
The way it is
That's the way
The way that we live

Don't back down
Don't ever give in
That's the way that it is

That's the way
The way it is
That's the way
The way that we live

Don't back down
Don't ever give in
That's the way that it is

[Alright, Alright!]

That's the way
That's the way
Don't ever give in

That's the way
That's the way
Don't ever give in

That's the way
Don't back down
That's the way
Don't ever give in
