[Verse 1]
It's often tricky just to start your day
A whiskey for the evening pain
Well, that works for some
It keeps them moving on
We never buckled to the bleak routine
We cuddle with our legs between
Well, that's not enough
It could be, but not for us

[Pre-Chorus]
We're unemployed, could have avoided it
Some get annoyed when paranoia hits
You can't resist, but you'll be spoiling this
Why not just enjoy it?

[Chorus]
We just get by
Hanging on this ticking time
'Till both of us start to decline
Together, we can lose our minds
We just scrape through
Unconcerned with what others do
But if they had the slightest clue
Together, we'd all lose our cool
[Verse 2]
When I was younger, I thought I was meant
To have a house in every continent
But dreams don't come true
They changed when I met you
We keep a secret that is plain to see
Others work it out when they're wrinkly
And doused in regrets
Shake those evening sweats

[Pre-Chorus]
We're unemployed, could have avoided it
Some get annoyed when paranoia hits
You can't resist, but you'll be spoiling this
Why not just enjoy it?

[Chorus]
We just get by
Hanging on this ticking time
'Till both of us start to decline
Together, we can lose our minds
We just scrape through
Unconcerned with what others do
But if they had the slightest clue
Together, we'd all lose our cool
(All lose our cool, all lose our cool, all lose our cool)
