How about some disambiguation here? "That's Just The Way It Is" is also a Bruce Hornsby and The Range song. This is arguably better known than the Phil Collin's single. Update: I may have this wrong; it seems the Hornsby song is title "The Way It Is". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.88.9 (talk) 15:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Phil Collins and David Crosby made a music video for this song that includes examples from many wars and protests throughout the 20th Century, not only the Troubles in Northern Ireland. You can see it on YouTube at " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhF47zXAC-g ". (There is a better-quality version for sale on iTunes.) In addition, this song should be listed on your "List of anti-war songs" page at " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anti-war_songs ".Jimcgreevy (talk) 08:44, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
