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
