Van Halen - As Is Lyrics

One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

Yesterday I was a bum and broke
Today I am a star and broke
In this town that's called progress
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 done so
Let's have some fun so
Yours 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
The day is done so
Let's have some fun so
Yours very truly
As is

Ahh, 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

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, woo

Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so
The day is done so
Let's have some fun so
Yours 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, woo
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
