Hey you, what you think about the deadline
Hey you, can you throw another lifeline
Well, they were right; yeah, the devil's coming to see me
What now, the saints are on the breadline
What now, the sinners on the hotline
Them preaching love to the loveless

[Chorus]
You, you fall to your knees
You can be like anyone in the street
Just trying to get by, hey
Just trying to get by

Sit back, just chilling in a warm glow
Watch out, your parents on a talk show
Hey you, you're yelling from the sidelines
Hey man, just keep it on track now
Hey man, there's a monkey on your back now
Yeah, you just want to be free

[Chorus]
Hey you, you fall to your knees
You can be like anyone in the street
Just trying to get by
Just trying to get by

This fortress is fading
And these walls are crashing down
And when you breathe into a mirror
Does your soul give you a sign

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
When you fall to your knees
You can be like anyone in the street
Just trying to get by, hey
Just trying to get by

[Chorus]
When you fall to your knees
You can be like anyone in the street
Just trying to get by, hey
Just trying to get by

[Chorus]
When you fall to your knees
You can be anyone that you please
Trying to get by, yeah
Just trying to get by
Just trying to get by
