The Way It's Always Been Lyrics

Heading down the highway, ignoring warning signs

Seeming to make progress, but we'll never understand

We've missed our fail-safe exit, careering down this track

We're on a road to nowhere and there is no turning back

We're pressing every on-switch, wondering what is wrong

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Fighting our gut instinct that something must be wrong

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Nothing so serene as the way it's always been

The West will be the victor, got Jesus on our side

But all in all, if truth be told, the lies stand by our side

We ridicule those trying, we crucify our host

Can't vote away our problems, or pray to holy ghosts

We're pressing every on-switch, wondering what is wrong

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Fighting our gut instinct that something must be wrong

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Nothing so serene as the way it's always been

We wheel and deal, we roll the dice, it's all so underhand

Fighting every instinct that we just don't understand

Blaming everything we think is causing of all our woes

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Fighting our gut instinct that something must be wrong

It's just the way; it's the way it's always been

Nothing so serene as the way it's always been
