Purple tints and faded light, inferiority at night
Make believe some smiles and laughs
To get the winning photographs
We all know life's not what it seems but jealousy of coloured screens
Breeding irrationality
And so you give them what you think they wanna see
♪
So we fight fire with fire again, romanticised rebellion
So hypocritical we know, just another way to show
That your life's as interesting as mine
We've all got money, friends and time
You know it's fake and so do I, so why you lie?
Oh you caught me taking a walk in the rain
Don't need worldly possessions, my blessings are lessons
But I wear new clothes everyday
And my body is my temple but I drink vodka for the pain
Whoops, I mean champagne
Is that mundane? My bad, I only drink champagne
And it doesn't matter where I've been, I didn't go if you've not seen
I went with perfect skin and hair or so you'd think from what I share
I'm sorry I'm perpetuating all the things I hate, don't judge
I know you do the same
What a stupid game
Oh you caught me taking a walk in the rain
Don't need worldly possessions, my blessings are lessons
But I wear new clothes everyday
And my body is my temple but I drink vodka for the pain
Whoops, I mean champagne
Is that mundane? I only drink champagne

Sitting in a white dress, singing in a field
That's giving me a grass rash
All over my ask the question
Am I suggesting that is how to write a song?
And I believe in positivity but spreading it politically
Can dampen creativity that breeds in negativity
And you feel like a failure when you're not
As happy as they say they are
So you download an app to make you thinner, a winner
You look like Kylie Jenner
Then a friend's jealous and down, downloads and the cycle goes around
We hate it, berate it, but it's hard to break it, they all fake it
So why can't we?
Don't ask me
'Cause it's nothing new to fake a smile with lipstick and veneers
Humanity's been doing this for thousands of years
Oh you caught me, I don't have a clue how we win
You'd think by writing a new song, I'd have a solution
Not just a confession of my sins
Well the moral of the story is there if you look deep within
I think it's clear and plain what I've been saying
Is I only drink champagne
Oh you caught me taking a walk in the rain
Don't need worldly possessions, my blessings are lessons
But I wear new clothes every day
And my body is my temple but I drink vodka for the pain
Whoops, I mean champagne
Is that mundane? My bad, I only drink champagne
And Tinder's just a game to boost my ego when I feel low
Scroll through Instagram for hours
And check for more likes in the shower
'Cause I'll probably take it down in about 40 minutes
If it's not got at least a hundred likes already
I know, it's sad
My bad, I only drink champagne
