Lyrics The Way It Is - Chelsea Recording - Joni Mitchell
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
And
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?
