Must be getting early, clocks are running late |
|
Faint light of the mornin' sky, looks so phony |
|
Dawn is breakin' everywhere light a candle curse the glare |
|
Draw the curtains I don't care 'cuz it's alright |
|
I will get by, I will get by |
|
I will get by, I will survive |
|
I see, you've got your fist out, say your piece and get out |
|
Yes I get the gist of it but it's alright |
|
Sorry that you feel that way, the only there is to say |
|
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey |
|
I will get by, I will get by |
|
I will get by, I will survive |
|
It's a lesson to me, the eagles and the beggars and the seas |
|
The ABC's, we all must face try to keep a little grace |
|
It's a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze |
|
The ABC's, we all think of and try to win a little love |
|
I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in years |
|
It's even worse than it appears but it's alright |
|
Cows givin' kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen |
|
The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright |
|
I will get by, I will get by |
|
I will get by, I will survive |
|
The shoe is on the hand that fits, there's really nothing much to it |
|
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cuz it's alright |
|
Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway |
|
And that was all I had to say and it's alright |
|
I will get by, I will get by |
|
I will get by, I will survive |
|
We will get by, we will get by |
|
We will get by, we will survive |
|
We will get by, we will get by |
|
We will get by, we will survive |
