How It Is Songtext
von Walk off the Earth

Beauty queens and libertines and beggars on their benches
They go to sleep and dream like you and I
Billionaires behind their walls and soldiers in their trenches
We′re all just looking for a reason why

To get out of bed in the morning
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
'Cause sometimes reality′s boring
And it's a shame, but it's just how it is

Everybody′s gotta live (yes, they do)
And everybody′s gonna die (die, die)
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

So pour a drink, or have a smoke, 'cause we all got our vices
Just doing what we need to, to get by
Wear a dress, your Sunday best, whatever you feel nice in
′Cause God knows we all need a reason why


To get out of bed in the morning
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
'Cause sometimes reality′s boring
And it's a shame, but it′s just how it is

Everybody's gotta live (yes, they do)
And everybody's gonna die (die, die)
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

Taxi cars and prison bars, and history repeating
We build our little boxes, you and I
So cross your heart or read your cards, whatever you believe in
′Cause God knows we all need a reason why

To get out of bed in the morning
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
′Cause sometimes reality's boring
And it′s a shame, but it's just how it is

Everybody′s gotta live
And everybody's gonna die (die, die, die, die)
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why


To get out of bed in the morning
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
′Cause sometimes reality's boring
And it's a shame, but it′s just how it is
