It could have been great, it should have been awesome  We played a big show in downtown Toronto  Our friends were all there, the sound was weird but OK,  The guest list was full, I was excited to play  But then what should have been just a simple misunderstanding  Became an unnecessarily scarily harsh reprimanding  When a bouncer discovered a bottle of booze  Backstage with our bags and our clothes and our shoes  He said '''according to bylaw B-174,  I'm entitled to throw you all right out the door'۝  He got a bit rough, we got a bit defensive,  Both sides found the other side's behaviour offensive  Eventually the situation more or less worked out ok  We got on the stage, we played and got paid  But I felt pretty confused as I went to bed  And then this little refrain ran through my head:    I am what I am, you are what you are  A show is a show, a bar is a bar  It can't all be caviar and champagne fizz  Sometimes it just is what it is    I am what I am, you are what you are  And when you wish upon a star,  Pray to Allah or Yahweh  There's no promises  Sometimes it just is what it is    I woke up the next morning still wearing my clothes  I brushed my teeth, I yawned, I tried touching my toes  I started packing the van, then thought '''forget it, I'll wait -  The world probably won't end if we're a little bit late  I tried to restrain my natural urge to turn molehills into mountains  To forget keeping score if it's just me that's counting  I've never been a Buddhist but I like their whole deal  About detachment and compassion and something about a wheel  It's like that old saying about bones stones and sticks  Pricks will be pricks, dicks will be dicks  But just like the water off a duck's back  I'm not going to worry about that  Let the actors handle the drama, the hype and the hoopla    Let out a low '''ha-ha' amidst the brouhaha  There are some things I can't control  And these are the things I love the most    You are what you are, I am what I am  They say the Great Dancer laughs while we're making our plans  So swing with me grandma, sing with me kids,  It is what it is what it is what it is    It is what it is, it'll be what it'll be  Que sera sera and hey, c'est la vie  Mais ecoutez-moi, monsieur et madame  You are what you are and I am what I am
