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, and that's 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, 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, 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
