The Way We Get By

[Verse 1] We get high in backseats of cars We break into mobile homes We go to sleep to "Shake Appeal" Never wake up on our own [Chorus] And that's the way we get by It's the way we get by Aw, that's the way we get by It's the way we get by [Verse 2] We go out in stormy weather We rarely practice discern We make love to "Some Weird Sin" We seek out the taciturn [Chorus] And that's the way we get by It's the way we get by Aw, that's the way we get by It's the way we get by Well, that's the way we get by It's the way we get by, it's the way And that's the way we get by That's the way we get by [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] And that's the way to my heart It's the way to my heart And that's the way we get by It's the way we get by And that's the way we get by It's the way we get by, it's the way Well, that's the way we get by That's the way we get by [Verse 4] We get high in backseats 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 [Chorus] That's the way we get by It's the way we get by Aw, that's the way we get by It's the way we get by And that's the way we get by It's the way we get by, it's the way And that's the way we get by That's the way we get by
