We Get By
The ravers jaws are swinging in a land of dreams Inspired by magic beans And all the squares are filled with despair But all the little dancing feet don't seem to care To the ones who go straight to the boozer As soon as they end work Because the bosses son's a knobhead And he's driving all of the lads bezerk Three ton for a week's graft And sometimes I get it cash in hand Boss is leasing a Bentley Still probably cost him a hundred grand A hundred grand You might say to me There's more to life than this But we've not got a pound Our heads are barely above ground To make ends meet we try Then spend what's left on booze and getting high Still we get by Tons of people queing for their giro cheque Late Thursday on Walton Breck Bills come out at midnight then you're left with a score SongtexteJust like last week and all those times before Though we still have our moments Those burst of happiness Even though the boilers broken And the stairs and landing are a mess Won't ever be beaten Cos we've got them and they've got us So roll on in yer Bentley Because for now I think I'm happy on the bus You might say to me There's more to life than this But we've not got a pound Our heads are barely above ground To make ends meet we try And then spend what's left on booze and getting high Still we get by Bye yesterday From you I'm running far away Today's the day that I got paid And the one where all my dreams are made To make ends meet I'll try And then spend what's left on booze and getting high Still we get by Aus Songtexte Mania
