That's the way it is 

Used to mean that nothing can be done about a particular condition,because it just has to be that way and one just has to live with it.

Kenny,Kevin,Uriah,Harun,Hayden,Harvey,Jason,Jim,Jamie,Matt,Robert,Bill,Tom,and Elliott may only wear ball caps and winter jackets. It's plain they all would rather wear impressive headgear and overcoats, but they can't, and that's the way it is.

because that's the way it is 

The most bullshit phrase ever to enter existence. Sometimes used when no actual reason is had.

"Why can't gay people get marries?"
-"Because that's the way it is."
"Why can't women vote?"
-"Because that's the way it is."
"Why can't I sit on my knees at the dinner table?"
-"Because that is the way it is."
