Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky
Looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Draw the candle, douse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause
It's all right
I will get by (3x)
I will survive
I see you've got your list out
Say your piece and get it out
Guess I get the gist of it
But it's all right
The only thing that I can say
Sorry that you feel that way
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by (3x)
I will survive
[BRIDGE]
It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
To try to do 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
But it's 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 (3x)
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand it fits
That's all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
it's all right
Oh well, a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That isn't all I had to say
But it's all right
We will get by, we will get by
We will get by, we will survive
[BRIDGE]
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
Try to leave a little love
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky
Looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Draw the candle, douse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause
It's all right
We will get by, we will get by
We will get by, we will survive
