| 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 ‘till 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 w y since the git go | 
| It’s been that w y 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 ev’ry time, roll a soldier’s bones like loaded dice | 
| War is the beast that makes ev’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' ev’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 |
