Skin of Our Teeth
1,2,3,4,5 I'm lucky to be alive
6,7,8,9,10 I'm glad you're my friend
We'll get it straight when we get 'round this bend
But there's always another curve just down the road
And it's anyone's guess unless you've been there before
People on the street all covered in sin
I don't know what they're thinking but I know where they've been
We spend our time hunkered down in front of the screen
But we're all the same and the name of the game
Is getting more and more
And it's such a shame that we're all to blame
Every time we go to war
Apathy and greed won't set us free
Neither does all that shit they try to sell us on tv
And the lies are flying and we're dead meat
And we're only alive by the skin of our teeth
You said "There is peace my friend and hope"
But I thought I heard you say "There's peace at the end of a rope"
And we laughed at that until we cried
It's a strange old messed up roller coaster ride
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
6,7,8,9,10 I'm glad you're my friend
We'll get it straight when we get 'round this bend
But there's always another curve just down the road
And it's anyone's guess unless you've been there before
People on the street all covered in sin
I don't know what they're thinking but I know where they've been
We spend our time hunkered down in front of the screen
But we're all the same and the name of the game
Is getting more and more
And it's such a shame that we're all to blame
Every time we go to war
Apathy and greed won't set us free
Neither does all that shit they try to sell us on tv
And the lies are flying and we're dead meat
And we're only alive by the skin of our teeth
You said "There is peace my friend and hope"
But I thought I heard you say "There's peace at the end of a rope"
And we laughed at that until we cried
It's a strange old messed up roller coaster ride
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
No no we can't let go even though we tried
There's joy and peace and beauty on every side
