It Is As It Was

(You know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was)
C’mon, we’re gonna start at the beginning
Page one, Bonomo says
«It's gonna get good now
It’s gonna get better»
Read on, well this is the story of The Fleshtones
Chapter one, how we started
It is what it is
It is what happened
It is as it was, you know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
Dig in, we didn’t make a whole lot of money
But we did what we wanted to
If you read «Sweat»
You can find out too
It is as it was, you know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
It goes back to our past
But the present rolls on into the future
Tonight the band is ready for some action
Hold tight, you’re here to have fun
Like the Pope in Rome says
«It is as it was, now»
It is as it was, you know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
It is as it was, you know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
You know that it is as it was
