Lyrics
It must be getting earlyClocks are running latePaint by numbers morning skyLooks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhereLight a candle, curse the glareDraw the curtains, I don’t care‘Cause it’s alright
I will get byI will get byI will get byI will survive
I see you got your list outSay your piece and get outYes, I get the gist of itBut it’s alright
Sorry that you feel that wayThe only thing there is to sayEvery silver lining’s got aTouch of grey
I will get byI will get byI will get byI will survive
It’s a lesson to meThe Ables and the Bakers and the C’sThe ABC’sWe all must faceAnd try to keep a little grace
It’s a lesson to meThe Deltas and the East and the FreezeThe ABC’sWe all think ofAnd try to keep a little love
I know the rent is in arrearsThe dog has not been fed in yearsIt’s even worse than it appearsBut it’s alright
Cows are giving keroseneThe kid can’t read at seventeenThe words he knows are all obsceneBut it’s alright
I will get byI will get byI will get byI will survive
The shoe is on the hand, it fitsThere’s really nothing much to itWhistle through your teeth and spit‘Cause it’s alright
Oh, well, a touch of greyKind of suits you anywayThat was all I had to say, andIt’s alright
I will get byI will get byI will get byI will survive
We will get byWe will get byWe will get byWe will survive
We will get byWe will get byWe will get by
