Joni Mitchell - The Way It Is текст песни

If you hear a politician

Or a singer making song

Do you just refuse to listen

Knowing that he must be wrong

Thats 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

Thats 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 flowers name

Thats 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

Thats 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

Thats the way it is, you know

You just see what you want to see

Who am I to tell you how to think
