As Is
Yesterday I was a bum and broke
Today I am a star and broke
In this town that's called progress
And that's how we do biz
I've been rich and I've been poor
Rich was better, totally better
Requires a degree of acceptance
As in: "must accept as is."
Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
The day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.
That's how it goes...
How expensive he was
Or what was he worth?
Ain't no Brinks truck
Following no hearse
Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
That day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.
This next part should really confuse things
Everybody let's stay focused
Love of the craft
Or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day
We don't save up
A little more volume in the headphones please
Unspoiled by progress
"As Is" is how I follow through
It's not who you squeeze
But who returns once again to squeeze you, no doubt
Love 'em all I says
Let Cupid sort 'em out
Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
That day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.
Love of the craft
Or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day
We don't save up
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
