Itâs been that way since the git go,
Itâs been that way since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs 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
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Itâs been that way since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs always been that way
Politicians make promises that they canât keep
They keep printinâ money âtill they get in way too deep
Itâs the same old lesson, they never learn,
Theyâre too busy workinâ on their next term
Politicians keep makinâ fools out of you and me
Itâs been that w\ay since the git go,
Itâs been that w\ay since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs always been that way
Money breeds war, as long as thereâs a man alive
Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
High-rollers crap out evâry time, roll a soldierâs bones like loaded dice
War is the beast that makes evâry mother cry
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Itâs been that way since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs 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 forgettinâ evâry thing He said
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Itâs been that way since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs always been that way
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Itâs been that way since the git go
Itâs been that way since the git go,
Lord itâs always been that way
