Small stakes
Give you the blues But you don't feel taken Don't think you've been used Cause it's alright Friday night to Sunday It feels alright keeps your mind on the page Oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues But you don't feel taken and you don't feel abused Small stakes tell you that there's nothing can do Can't think big, can't think past one or two and alright! Yeah alright! Me and my friends Sell ourselves Short but feel Very well We feel fine Aw we feel fine And small time danger in your midsize car I don't dig the stripes but I'll go for har mar The big innovation on the minimum wage Is lines up your nose but your life on the page so c'mon Tell me I'm wrong Small stakes Will kill me When you're stuck In back of the line It feels alright Friday night to Sunday Aw it feels alright keeps your mind on the page And small stakes bring you where you're caught in a rut You feel so uptight you just want to throw it all up And small stakes leave you with the minimum blues Can't think big, can't think past one or two so c'mon |

We get high in back seats of cars We break into mobile homes We go to sleep to shake appeal Never wake up on our own And that's the way we get by Way we get by And that’s the way we get by Way we get by We go out in stormy weather We rarely practice discern We make love to some weird sin We seek out the taciturn And that's the way we get by Way we get by And that’s the way we get by Way we get by We found a new kind of dance in a magazine Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen You sweet talk like a cop and you know it You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start And that's the way to my heart The way to my heart That's the way we get by Way we get by We get high in back seats of cars We put faith in our concerns Fall in love to down on the street We believe in the sum of ourselves I said that's the way we get by |

Now Carole don't get ahead of yourself
Don't say nothing right now I'll take it anywhere you let it go Everything moving so fast It'll take you a place where you can't get back And I've seen it enough You gotta make me shut up So there's something to look forward to Gimme something to look forward to Your mistakes, your merciless eye Your Chicago Manual of Style It only's got to go just as far as we let it go So Carole let me know So many things we could say So many things we could let get out But you stay in instead Some things are best left unsaid Gimme something to look forward to |
