Got to Be the Way It Is

Hungry man got to eat

 Ah, the working man got to get off his feet

 Oooh, the lazy man got to stay in bed

 Ah, the hazy man got to straighten out his head

 

 Work it out 

 Work it out

 Got to be ... the way it is

 Got to be the way it is

 Got to be the way it is, yeah

 Oh, got to be the way it is

 

 The middle man got to get his cut, oh

 Ah that quiet man got to keep his mouth shut, yeah

 Oh that old lyin' man you know he got to out and tell a lie

 Ah the man with the jones, you know he got to get himself high

 Got to be ... the way it is

 

 Whoa, got to be the way it is

 Mmm-hmm-mmm, yeah, yeah, mmm, etc, ....

 

 You got a thing

 Don't need to tell it anymore

 Just get up and work it out

 But if you ain't hung up on nothin', oh

 You know what you got to do

 Ah, you got to get up on your feet

 And work out your own boogaloo, yeah

 Got to be ...

 The way it is

 Got to be ...
