Sangtekst: Grateful Dead. It Is What It Is.

It's a cobbled dance that no one planned
Least of all the dancer,
A crap shoot dream you summon
From the corner of one eye.
If you need an explanation
There's a quick and easy answer,
Stop thinking for a moment
And give this one a try:
Just say:
It is what it is, What it is,
What it is, What it is,
Hey, it is what it is,
What it is, What it is, What it is,
It is what it is,
What it might have been, it isn't.
An infinity of mornings,
And only one shines through.
It is what it is,
Gonna grab the day we're given
Cause it is what it is,
And what it is will have to do.
You stop waiting for the check to come,
The postman's on vacation,
Take a job that starts at midnight
Give completely up on luck.
A scientologist comes knocking,
When you move to battle stations,
He says "Wait, my name's Mark Anthony,
And here's your million bucks."
Oh well,
It is what it is,
What it is, What it is, What it is,
Hey, it is what it is,
What it is, What it is, What it is,
It is what it is, What you had in mind, it won't be
Despite your great endeavors
The prize comes free to you.
It is what it is, If you feel surprised, then don't be,
Cause it is what it is, And what it is will have to do.
Animals eat animals Creation eats the winner.
Fall down to the beetles and start back up again.
It is a long way up the chain of life.
Not easy for beginners
You'll find that it's no easier
For elephants or men.
But hey, It is what it is,
What it is, What it is, What it is,
Yeah, it is what it is,
What it is, What it is, What it is,
It is what it is, It is what it is,
What it might have been, it isn't.
An infinity of mornings,
And only one shines through.
It is what it is,
Gonna grab the day we're given
Cause it is what it is,
And what it is will have to do.
