It Is What It Is (Remastered)

lyrics

It is what it is

I’m sorry to say
I can’t keep our appointment today
I fell out the loop
Flew the coop; I’ve just gone away
A couple of cards short of a deck
What the heck….a little underexposed
And living when it’s all stacked against me
That’s just how it sometimes goes...I suppose

If it doesn’t get any better than this
I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list
Everything is everything
It is what it is
And if it doesn’t get any better from now
I’m gonna have to walk right here right now
Everything is everything
It is what it is

Standing in the shadow of giants
No bigger than me
Bound to repeat the mistakes and disasters
Of our masters of spin
Dead men’s tales unbelievers
They’ve all become ghosts
They smile and tell out their stories
Poorest of the poor

If it doesn’t get any better than this
I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list
Everything is everything
It is what it is
And if it doesn’t get any better from now
I’m gonna have to walk right here right now
Everything is everything
It is what it is

A tumbled down tale
Overtold until the details change
Makeshift heroes and villains
A little deranged
The view from my window’s askew
Off the track; I’m on a different train
I need a new name for my pain
Until it changes again

If it doesn’t get any better than this
I’m gonna have to cross myself off the list
Everything is everything
It is what it is
And if it doesn’t get any better from now
I’m gonna have to walk right here right now
Everything is everything
It is what it is

It is what it is...
It is what it is...
It is what it is...
