Does she always shout at you
Does she tell you what to do
I can get by I can get by
Do you always stay out late
Does she say you look a state
I can get by I can get by

Cos it´s better than getting chucked out
Cos it´s better than being alone
Cos it´s better than growing up fed up

Does she tell you not to swear
How to comb your hair
I can get by I can get by
Is your sister on the pill
How does your mum feel
I can get by I can get by

Cos it´s better than getting chucked out
Cos it´s better than being alone
Cos it´s better than growing up fed up

Does your brother wear your clothes
Is he always up your nose
I can get by I can get by

Cos it´s better than getting chucked out
Cos it´s better than being alone
Cos it´s better than growing up fed up
