Nearly 40 years old and every bit as relevant today, unfortunately.

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't find a job
A man in a silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
That's just The Way It Is
Some things'll never change
That's just The Way It Is

The song is every bit as relevant as it was when it showed up in ‘86. Then there’s Bruce’s piano work which is brilliant.
