Van Halen - As Is [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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

[solo]

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
