How it is
[00:08.414]Beauty queens and libertines and beggars on their benches,
[00:12.006]They go to sleep and dream like you and I,
[00:15.923]Billionaires behind their walls and soldiers in their trenches,
[00:19.724]We’re all just looking for a reason why.
[00:22.679]To get out of bed in the morning,
[00:26.216]To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
[00:29.661]‘Cuz sometimes reality is boring,
[00:34.248]And it’s a shame, but it’s just how it is.
[00:39.326]Everybody’s gotta live, (yes they do)
[00:43.075]And everybody’s gonna die. (die die)
[00:47.448]Everybody try to have a, a good time,
[00:51.000]I think you know the reason why.
[00:54.214]So pour a drink, or have a smoke, cuz we all got our vices,
[00:57.985]Just doing what we need to to get by.
[01:01.918]Wear a dress, your Sunday best, whatever you feel nice in,
[01:05.785]Cuz God knows we all need a reason why.
