Schwa Lyrics

It's Just the Way That It Is

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

I've been told that violets are blue 
But violets look violet to me, it's true 
And they said roses are red 
But purple, yellow, and orange are the colors I like instead 

Lily pads look lily green 
But lilies ain't always as green as they seem 
Turn it up, and turn it upside down 
You just might find that the color on the bottom of the lily is brown 

It's not the way that it sounds 
Listen beyond the words 
It's not the way that it looks 
Look even deeper 
It's not the way that it seems 
Find out for yourself 
It's just the way that it is 
Go with your feelings 

They say the grass is greener on the other side 
But that depends on which side you ride 
If you're on the same side as me 
I think you'll find that the grass grows as green as can be 

Smaller can be better and less can be more 
That depends what your looking for 
You might want what you can't even see 
Just remember the way that you like it is the way it should be 

It's not the way that it sounds 
Listen beyond the words 
It's not the way that it looks 
Look even deeper 
It's not the way that it seems 
Find out for yourself 
It's just the way that it is 
Go with your feelings 

Some folks say the truth should always be told 
But nothing said can be good as gold 
If you feel that you have to speak 
Give lefty-loosey a turn to righty-tighty, so your faucet don't leak
