Van Halen - As Is lyrics

[Van Halen - As Is lyrics]

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
(It) requires a degree of acceptance
As in: "must accept as is"

Drive my search engine home
Dropped and chopped in 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 and chopped in Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so
The 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 and chopped in Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so
The 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
