Joni Mitchell - The Way It Is lyrics

If you hear a politician Or a singer making song Do you just refuse to listen Knowing that he must be wrong That's 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 That's 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 flower's name That's 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 That's 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 That's the way it is, you know You just see what you want to see Who am i to tell you how to think
