This Is It

I fight my way like a soldier and
Down the freeway to death plant
Death plant what the hell do you mean
Listen here hun it's killing me
Hi Rose, hi Finney, how ya doing Sam
Tell the folks what fools we am
We succeed 'cos we never stop
We earn the most when we drop

If this is it
What am I gonna tell my dreams
If this is it
What happened to the special me inside of me
If this is it
Well maybe I better learn to see the joke
'Cos as far as we know
Oh
This is it

Another day at computer screen
Zombie man on the cyclops team
Food exchanged, wings to fly
For the seat on the bottom line
I know bankers get depressed
If they lose your interest
So hard not to play their way
But my soul says

If this is it
What am I gonna tell my dreams
If this is it
What happened to the special me inside of me
If this is it
Well maybe I better learn to see the joke
'Cos as far as we know
Oh
This is it
This is it
This is it, this is it, this is it
As far as we know

Lunchtime at the local shrine
Yeah we worship a shot at a time
Politics, sex, cars, sport and such
We talk a lot
We don't say much
Big Al

pulls through his tears
Estelle walked after 15 years
Gave him money, kids, house, thought "that's all right"
Til her voice cried out in the dark that night
If this is it

If this it it
What am I gonna tell my dreams
If this is it
What happened to the special me inside of me
If this is it
Well maybe I better learn to see the joke
'Cos as far as we know
Oh

Sonny was only half awake
That was his first and last mistake
Just as he said not ready yet
Destiny said that's all you get
Keeping his feet down on the ground
Sonny forgot where dreams are found
This is the best, it may be shit
But oh-

This is it
So what am I gonna tell my dreams
Yeah this is it
What happened to the special me inside of me
See this is it
So maybe I better learn to see the joke
'Cos as far as we know
Oh
This is it
This is it
This is it, this is it, this is it
As far as we know
This is it
This is it
