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

To way we get by

And that's the way we get by

To 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

To way we get by

All that's the way we get by

To way we get by

That's the way we get by

To way we get by, to way

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

So way we get by

That's the way we get by

So way we get by, so way

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

That's the way we get by

To way we get by

All that's the way we get by

So way we get by

That's the way we get by

To way we get by, to way

That's the way we get by

That's the way we get by
