What It Is Lyrics

What if it hasn’t gone the way you planned
Life isn’t as grand as everyone else’s
There go the neighbours in their 4x4
It’s bigger than yours, it’s bigger than Elvis

God knows, that’s the way that it goes

It’s what it is, what it is
Not the way that you want it
Not a song or a sonnet
Not a hope or a wish
Here you are, you are
Not what you wanted to be
Not a dream or a movie
What it is, what it is, what it is

Everybody’s in the back of a limousine and you’re the chauffeur
They’re doing less work, they’re having more fun
Them on Big Brother, they don’t have a clue
It should’ve been you, you should’ve been someone

So what? They would kill for what you’ve got It’s what it is, what it is
Not the way that you want it
Not a song or a sonnet
Not a hope or a wish
Here you are, you are
Not what you wanted to be
Not a dream or a movie
What it is, what it is, what it is

You should’ve been someone
Big deal, that’s a lie, this is real

It’s what it is, what it is
Not the way that you want it
Not a song or a sonnet
Not a hope or a wish
Here you are, you are
Not what you wanted to be
Not a dream or a movie
What it is, what it is, what it is

And you don’t know what you want
But you do know you ain’t got
