That's Just The Way Of Things

about

Everyday resignation

lyrics

Jim always does his best to keep his cool
Tells himself that he’s nobody’s fool
Nothing’s ever gonna go and get him down
When he’s out in his wheels, cruising around
They went to once a month instead of once a week
Now these days they don’t even speak
He can’t see how to get her out of his face
All he wants is some breathing space

CHORUS:
That’s just the way of things
That’s how it goes
It’s just the way that things happen
It’s just the way of things
That’s how it goes
It’s just the way that things happen

Pam keeps on hiding behind a screen
Can’t work out why people treat her mean
Nothing ever seems to be in its place
Things never fit, they always grate
Then to show she no longer cared
She went out and cut off all her hair
Now they can’t see the fear in her face
She won’t feel out of place

CHORUS

Stan didn’t buy into the corporate dream
Double mortgage, some insurance scheme
Ambitious robots with tiled floors
It’s never enough – they’ve gotta have more
They wrap their lives just like frozen food
Throw things out when they’ve got no use
Stan’s greatest fear for the human race
Was they’d go forth and fuck up outer space

CHORUS
