With or Without

sometimes you may rely on old familiar things
 you may find yourself wandering through the streets
 to wrap a version of the past around
 the city like a cast so the walls don't crash down
 all the boys and girls still filling up the bars
 drink until they close and stumble home through the dark
 anticipating their next move, where to?
 sleep is for the dead; the night is for you
 we will go on
 we will get by
 with or without
 we will survive
 we will go on
 we will get by
 we will survive
 industry is turning over
 modern love is cold and sober
 try don't try
 cry don't cry
 sometimes you may rely on institutions
 or paint the town with careless resolutions
 you already have all the solutions
 when the moment comes where you realize
 you've turned into something you don't recognize
 all the walls come crashing down
 it's all right
 cry don't cry
 try don't try
