The Way We Get By

We get high in back seat of cars

We break into model homes

We go to sleep to shake a pill

Never wake up on our own

And that's the way we get by

to where we get by

And that's the way we get by

to where we get by

We go out in stormy weather

We rarely practice discern

We make love to some with sin

We seek out the taciturn

And that's the way we get by

to where we get by

And that's the way we get by

to where we get by

We 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 start

And that's the way to my heart

The way to my heart

That's the way we get by

Way we get by

We 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 ourselves

I said that's the way we get by
