I have a wisdom tooth Inside my crowded face I have a friend who is a born-again Found his savior's grace I was born before my father And my children before me We are born and born again Like the waves of the sea That's the way it's always been And that's how I want it to be Nothing but good news There is a frog in South America Whose venom is a cure For all the suffering that mankind Must endure More powerful than morphine And soothing as the rain A frog in South America Has the antidote for pain That's the way it's always been And that's the way I like it Some people never say no Some people never complain Some folks have no idea And others will never explain That's the way it's always been That's the way I like it And that's how I want it to be That's the way it's always been That's the way I like it And that's how I want it to be If I could play all the memories In the neck of my guitar I'd write a song called "Señorita with a necklace of tears" and every tear a sin I'd committed oh these many years That's who I was That's the way it's always been Some people always want more Some people are what they lack Some folks open the door Walk away and never look back I don't want to be a judge And I don't want to be a jury I know who I am Lord knows who I will be That's the way it's always been That's the way I like it And that's how I want it to be That's the way it's always been That's the way I like it And that's how I want it to be
