clocks are running late
Paint by numbers morning sky
looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause
It's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see you've got your list out
say your piece and get out
Guess I get the gist of it but
it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing 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 Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's
we all think of
and try to give 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
Cow is given 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 it fits
there's all there really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause
It's alright
Oh, well, a touch of gray
kinda suits you anyway
That's 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
