Lightbulb T-shirt sign

Hello, I am making t-shirt design, and I’m not sure about some things. Sign says this:
What’s music? A lifestyle? A philosophy? A meaning of life? No… I am the music!

So, here’s the problem:
I don’t know if I used the articles right. Should there be THE instead of A, A instead of THE, or there shouldn’t be any? I think it doesn’t really matter, it’s just saying if it is definite of indefinite. But I am asking to find out which option will fit the sign for t-shirt best…
Thank you very much for your help

And as this is Using English help forum, I guess I don’t have to apologize for my horrible English :)

I finally received my activation email…
And I am adding one more question. Another sign on my design says:

We are all just animals…

Is everything fine there? Let me guess. No :)

Welcome!

It's fine - but I hope you have more than one t-shirt!
