it is what it is

by FireFly - Libra

On this rainy day-
The match lit and cigarette burns-
Eyes leery of the same old thing-
Walking down Geary St.-
Same people drink at the coffee house-
Same pushy whiskey smelling toothless bum asking for change-

Keeping myself occupied with the cracked concrete-
Or the bus smog stiffing me clean air-
Then again this is a city-

Bam night hits-
The whole world lights up-
I’m on the move-
Going to party-
Feels good, I need it-
The world is a spider web-
Were born right in the middle of it-
And its time to experience it-

Head up to the liquor store-
Find a six-pack of cheap ass Budweiser-
Got to save the change for the cheap dates and bars later on-

We collect our poison at the destination-
Drink up, drink up, and drink up-
Turn on some Dan the Automator-
Then Groove Armada, whatever the fuck works-
Girls prance in like Little Miss Daisies-
Get them drunk-
They leave with their booties swinging-

Into the bar, we make it our own-
Talk up some charm with a newly acquired lady friend-
Such a dirty old man I am-
My hands are clean, but heads so dirty-
It’s a bar-
What else can be said-

It’s a fucking real shame-
That so many people have to get fucked-
Before they can really say or do what’s on their mind-

I don’t mind, though-
It is what it is-
