Getting By
Derek Johnson
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Well, a man who made his gains must think I'm lazy or vain Just another kid who set his bar too low Well, I worked through his scrutiny to pay for his security He wants to cut to keep me stuck far below So go ahead and buy your jet if that's what you wanna get I'd rather have the love of one who cares But you'd prefer to have the things that make you feel like a king Just remember who's paying their fair share and we're getting by, we're getting by Figuring out we need to try To break those strings from our boots And reconnect with our roots That are becoming dustbowl dry They wonder why, they wonder why We seem to become sheep in the rye With the red, white, and blue dreams bursting out of its seams So here we are just getting by Well, the steel drivers were once strong And they worked all day long Until them steam engines all went away What were they supposed to do When there's no other work they knew That could give that one living wage Well, now the water trickles down from the gutters of a town And that's what the people are left to drink Cause when they took away their cars to a plant somewhere far All that was left was the lead in their sinks And they're getting by, we're getting by Figuring out we need to try To break those strings from our boots And reconnect with our roots That are becoming dustbowl dry And they wonder why, they wonder why We seem to become sheep in the rye With the red, white, and blue dreams bursting out of its seams So here we are just getting by Here we are just getting by Here we are just getting by
