Lyrics

It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
 Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
 Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right
 Well they woke up naked with a bit headache
 He been done in by a slippery snake
 A man and a woman get to live a while and then they die
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
 Politicians make promises that they can't keep
 They keep printin' money 'til they get in way too deep
 It's the same old lesson, they never learn
 They're too busy workin' on their next term
 Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and me
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
 Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive
 Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
 High-rollers crap out e'ry time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice
 War is the beast that makes e'ry mother cry
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
 ♪
 He told the truth, and they hung him up to die
 The son of God who created you and I
 He said it in the Good Book and letters in red
 But we keep on forgettin' e'ry word he said
 Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 It's been that way since the git go
 Lord, it's always been that way
