Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, looks so phoney
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, cause it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

I see you've got your fist out, say your piece & get out.
Guess I get the gist of it, but it's all right
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 ablers & the beggars & the thieves
The ABCs we all must face, we try to keep a little grace.

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
Its even worse than it appears, but its all right

Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

Shoe is on the hand that fits, that's all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth & spit, but it's all right

Oh well a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway,
That's all I had to say, but it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me, the devils & the east & the free
The ABCs we all must face, try to save a little grace.
