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 'cause it's alright
Oh, well, anyway, 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 Ables and the beggars and the thieves
The ABC's we all think of
And try to win a little love
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all must face
And try to win a little grace
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears 'cause 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 really not that 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 'cause 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!!!!
