Well I'Ve Learned To Get By
Well I’ve learned to get by
yes I’ve found out ways to survive
in this jungle
I’m not a kid, you can’t fool me
I know the score, as you can see
I wasn’t born yesterday
But there’s got to be more than this
The stupid Christmas numbers and too many drinks
Having a crack, finding some kicks
getting ripped off - and I thought they were sound
Maybe next week I’ll check out another town
maybe not
Oh God, what’s it all about?
Trust doesn’t last and the cash runs out
Luck’s someone else’s, not mine tonight
I think someone bad is messing me about
