ZWEATLANA - The Best at Being Alive Lyrics

(The point of music is just music
And we all need that
We need art is our life
We need it to survive
So we need to pay the people
Who are contibuting their time to our survival
Because they can't work for free
They need to be included as a necessary workforce
And this is not negotiable
We need art in our life
This is not negotiable
We need it to survive
The point of music is just music
We need art in our life


If I got paid
For every stupid heartbreak
I'd be rich
Getting botox for my headache

If I got paid
For every time I break down
I'd be rich
Sipping champagne in my nightgown

If I got paid for the time I spend pretending to be fine
I would book myself a flight to see the northern lights
If I got paid for my fate to be stuck in stagnation
I would spend all of my time on vacation

If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
(This is not negotiable)
If I got paid

But sure I'm blessed to be here
My talent saved me this year
I took no breaks
So please applaud me for my patience
Hand over that price
For the "best at being alive"
I sacrificed my body and my inspiration

But yeah I'm good no thank you I'm fine
There's still obstacles down the line
Living my best life
Sipping away on my pride
No need for money when you got art
Paying rent is just the start
To a luxury life
Don't listen to these lies
Keep it classy
Keep it smart
Keep it simple
Keep it hard
Minimal things, maximum price
And thats the ticket to your bland life

(The point of music is just music)
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
(We need art in our life, we need it to survive)
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
If I got paid
