It must be getting early
Clocks are running late,
Paint by numbers morning sky
Looks so phony.
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care
'Cos it's alright
I will get by x3
I will survive
I see you got your list out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it
But it's alright..
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 x3
I will survive
It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's
We all must face
And try to keep a little grace
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's
We all think of
And try to keep a little love
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 alright
Cows are giving kerosene
The kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
But it's alright
I will get by x3
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand.. it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
'Cos it's alright
Oh well, a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say,
and It's alright
I will get by x3
I will survive
We will get by x3
We will survive
We will get by x3
