The Art To Getting By

When at first you try but you don't succeed
When everyone's telling you who to be and what to feel
When you stand up in a fight but you're still the bad guy
When it doesn't seem like you are gonna make it through the night

Oh darling let me teach you there's an art to getting by
I know life sucks I'm the first to tell you
but you gotta turn the other cheek and smile
turn the other cheek and smile

When you got so many maps but you still don't know where to go
When they say you you've had enough time, you should know
When you have a plan but it's not what you want
When you say you're in love and they tell you you're not

When it doesn't seem like you'll make it through the night
It's not worth this fight I'm fighting in


Oh darling let me teach you there's an art to getting by
I know life sucks I'm the first to tell you
but at least you can say you tried


Oh darling let me teach you there's an art to getting by
I know life sucks I'm the first to tell you
but you gotta turn the other cheek and smile
turn the other cheek and smile
