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 own

That's the way we get by

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get by

We go out in stormy weather

We rarely practice discern

We make love to "Some Weird Sin"

We seek out the taciturn

That's the way we get by

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get by

Well, that's the way we get by

The way we get by, the way

Well, that's the way we get by

That's the way 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

The way we get by

That's the way we get by

The way we get by, the way

Well, that's the way we get by

That's the 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

The way we get by

Oh, that's the way we get by

The way we get by

Well, that'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
