ain't nothing i can't do
so long as i got you
here on my side
along for the ride
baby maybe i can't pay the electricity this month
and the cell phone bills are piling a mile high
i don't know what I'm making for dinner
the cupboard's nearly bare
but as long as I got your love
I'll find some way to get us there
cuz when you're with me I feel like I'm the winner
like I've got time to do everything I need before I die
baby what we've got is one in a millionth.
so the economy is crumbling around us
and freedom of speech, freedom of expression, they're all a farce
the government owns us, every hour, every penny, every breath
I can't buy our daughter a new pair of shoes
I can't afford to fill the gas tank all the way
I have to forego fresh vegetables and instead eat kraft dinner
but hey, at least we've got a food bank
hey, at least we've got a roof over our heads
hey, at least we've got bills to worry about
rather than war and famine
I wanted to buy you that music board you've be longing for
I wanted to put it under the christmas tree
but then the struts and mounts (whatever they are) stopped
strutting and mounting their stuff
now I know all I've got to give you are my words
not even two coins to rub together
I'll be paying it off into the summer
but as long as I've got your love
I know I can pull through some how
I know I'll always have a smile and not a frown
when you couldn't find a job I thought I'd go crazy
when you were working shit temp work for shit pay
I thought I'd lose my mind, cuz you were in the most unsafe places
I worried you would die for ten twenty-five an hour
and I loved you harder and longer on the days you worked over time
not because we needed the money
but because I missed you more, and I knew you'd be sore when you got home
as long as I've got you I can excuse myself
for not going to occupy everything, occupy anything
as long as you're by my side it doesn't really matter
that I didn't vote cuz I didn't think it'd change anything
somewhere out there is my ideal society, but this one just doesn't cut it
so long as I have you, I can survive it
cuz what the fuck is the point, if I don't have you?
