Words and music by roddy frame

Well you can get grades, toe the line,
Keep your behind above the water in the meantime,
Join the corporate pyramid,
I couldn’t blame you if you did,
Until you sell out your brother while your sister falls,
Playin’ daddy, doing the company crawl,
You don’t deserve your daughter’s kiss, i know it’s sad,
That’s how it is.

Well, uptown there’s been more than an oilspill,
Another woman beaten, raped, blood spilled, male hate,
The paper’s couldn’t wait, racism, sell this.
Well there’s excusin’ in what i’m saying,
It’s just that there’s a million colours praying,
For real justice.
That’s how it really is.

You just get born, keep on keepin’ on,
Defend yourself against the worries,
Try and have fun.
Party on until your number’s picked,
But beware cos the fight is fixed,
It was them but it could be you next,
Paranoia saves lives,
So if you wanna exist,
Get your head round this…
That’s how it is.

Look into the yes of a madman
You can see it in his face, he’s a weak and sad man
Staring straight ahead, his eyes set like stone
With a nine millimeter cocked at your dome
No way out, it’s too late ‘cause you’re already in it
So what’cha gonna do you’ll be dead in a minute
Thinking slow will get you nowhere fast
A young life terminated with one short blast
You live like that, you die like this
That ‘s how it is
Livin’ with regret is no way to live
That’s how it is
You’re dead too soon if the bullet don’t miss
That’s how it is kid
How it is
That’s what you get for
Living like this
With a bullet in your head – you’re dead, you can’t miss
Ain’t no time for regret when you’re body is in a bag
Ain’t no time to change your mind when your head begins to sag
Should’ve known better, ain’t working for you now
Maybe if you’d know better you’d be here somehow
So change your ways before you ways change you
With a hole in your head that you can see through
You’re looking up and you’re looking down
Shot’s are rippin’ out from all around
You’re crying out for help but it can’t be found
The voice of regret is the only sound
You play the game and you pay the price
For hustlin’ in the gutter with the motherfuckin’ street lice
You’re runnin’ and gunnin’ and whatever else goes
And you’re goin’ with your crew whichever way the wind blows
"cause you got their back and they got yours
And you live for yourself and you make your own laws
But sooner or later what goes around comes around
You wind up dead and buried in hard, cold ground

Here’s a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today’s as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
Giving way to resignation
That’s how it is – How it’s going to be

It’s such a cloudy day
Seems we’ll never see the sun
Or feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment –
The lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Here’s a little trap
That sometimes trips up everyone
When we tire of our own company
Sometimes we’re the last to see beyond the day’s frustrations
That’s how it is – how it’s going to be

It’s such a cloudy day
Seems we’ll never see the sun
I feel the day is all uncertainty
Burning in the moment – trapped by the desperation
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Foot upon the stair
Shoulder to the wheel
You can’t tell yourself not to care
You can’t tell yourself how to feel
That’s how it is – Another cloudy day
