We are what we are.

Nothing really changes.

If we could live in Shakespeare's days, I wonder who we'd be,
If people then could live today, I wonder who we'd see,
They'd probably stop a corner cop and ask what this world's coming to,
If people then could live today, I wonder what they'd do,
Would Romeo and Juliet watch Nelson Eddy kiss Jeanette,
Would Bacchus read Police Gazette and window peep at silhouettes,
Would Caesar pay to see the Mets, and Icarus join the new jet set'
Satan smoke cigarettes, and Samson razor with Gillettes'

Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die.

Would Henry VIII use etiquette in a busy New York luncheonette'
Would Cleopatra die when when bit, or save herself with a tourniquet'
Beethoven join a jazz quartet, Ben Hur drive a blue corvette'
Would Aristotle be an acid head'
Would Cain kill Abel with a bayonet'

Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes.

We are what we are 'til the day we die, unless we know the Lord.

Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die.

We are who we are,
We are, 'til the day we die,
We are who we are,
We are, 'til the day we die.

Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same,
We are what we are 'til the day that we die,
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same, (we are who we are)
We are what we are 'til the day that we die, (we are, 'til the day we die)
Nothing really changes, everything remains the same, (we are who we are)
We are what we are 'til the day that we die. (we are, 'til the day we die)
