The Way We Get By

We get high in back seats of cars

We break into mobile homes

We go to sleep to shake appeal

Never wake up on our ownAnd that's the way we get by

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get byWe go out in stormy weather

We rarely practice discern

We make love to some weird sin

We seek out the taciturnThat's the way we get by

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get byThat's the way we get by

The way we get by, the way

That's the way we get by

That's the way we get byWe found a new kind of dance in a magazine

Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen

You sweet talk like a cop and you know it

You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new startAnd that's the way to my heart

The way to my heart

That's the way we get by

The way we get byThat's the way we get by

The way we get by, the way

That's the way we get by

That's the way we get byWe get high in back seats of cars

We put faith in our concerns

Fall in love to down on the street

We believe in the sum of ourselvesI said, that's the way we get by

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get byThat's the way we get by

The way we get by, the way

That's the way we get by

That's the way we get by
