How it Is Video (MV)

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
Cuz sometimes reality is 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, cuz 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,
Cuz 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
Cuz sometimes reality is 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,
Cuz 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
Cuz sometimes reality is 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

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