We Got Ours

This day & age
It's hard to find
A person
Who will give you the time
To set you on your way
Despite all your crimes

You can pay a lawyer
But there's no guarantee
'Cause after all
He can't cure the disease
And no amount of law school
Can teach you how to be free

You get yours
I got mine
You get yours
I got mine
You get yours
I got mine
You'll be fine

You can see a doctor
Wait in the hall
She'll give you some pills
That do nothing at all
'Cept make ya all day tired
Gain weight off the wall

You can go to church
Raise up your hands
Live your life
By your own God's plans
Only to wake up the next morning
Not sure where you stand

You get yours
I got mine
You get yours
I got mine
You get yours
I got mine
I'll be fine

For after all
After we both fall
We'll wonder where
We both went wrong
'Cause you don't got yours
And I don't got mine
Guess we both forgot
About Love & Time

I'll help you get yours
You help me get mine
I'll help you get yours
You help me get mine
I'll help you get yours
You help me get mine
One day at a time
