Trying To Get By
I was in downtown Manhattan
the city was sleeping
From the Island I hear Lady
Liberty weeping
In lofty towers of Babylon
the elite drink champaign
Living in the subways on the
streets legions in pain
We’re all just trying to get
by
Some live the truth some live
the lie
Most of us don’t even ask why
We’re all just trying to get
by
Something’s only illegal if
you happen to get caught
Even then with the right
friend innocence can be bought
A wad of cash under the table
is universal language
If you’re going to sell your
soul do it when you’re young
We’re all just trying to get
by
Some live the truth some live
the lie
Most of us don’t even ask why
We’re all just trying to get
by
Lucifer wears a tuxedo
sitting front row at the Met
His ego won’t allow for even
a single regret
Wizards of Wall Street eat
their fill in the Sushi bars
While the ghost of Kurt
Cobain collects broken guitars
We’re all just trying to get
by
Some live the truth some live
the lie
Most of us don’t even ask why
We’re all just trying to get
by
Meanwhile at the math lab
we’re reciting pi
Learn your lessons work till
the day you die
Sahir refuses to obey he’s
become spoiled
The juggernaut of death is
well oiled
Materialism is wrong but
don’t dare touch my bank account
From the Hills of Mordor the
zombie hordes begin to mount
And where has my Lord Jesus
gone why haven’t you found Him yet?
There are many more letters
not in the alphabet
We’re all just trying to get
by
Some live the truth some live
the lie
Most of us don’t even ask why
We’re all just trying to get
by
