It Is What It Is

We work all day until the end of the week Laboring away in obscurity Then payday comes and we're shocked to see Little left after they all take their piece So hey what is this; this can't be The tax man came and he picked me clean Then momma and the kids say they need to eat It just is what it is We work out lives away while we are young Putting money aside for a retirement fund We toil away chasing down a dream That we're able to play before we're feable and weak So hey what is this; what does it mean We got this all backwards; man this is diseased But the work must be done while we are young It just is what it is To the young at heart everything is fun But we slave away while we are young We toil away out of need It's just the way it is; it's the reality So hey what is this; this can't be Wasting away chasing down a dream By the time we earn it we're too weary It just is what it is Life is a crapshoot, yes indeed Rolling the dice; hoping furiously That our bodies hold up until we achieve A life of retirement and sanity So hey what is this; what does it mean Wagering away our virility We take our chances and hopefully We get to what it is
