“It is what it is”

  • January 30, 2013, 8:02pm

Oh, almost forgot, the Lennon song "Scared" from the same album actually includes the line, "It is what it is." "You don't have to suffer/it is what it is …"

Can't believe 1983 is the first attributed use of this phrase. This album was from 1974.

Oh well, it is what it is.
