Duck And Cover Lyrics

Chorus:

One way or another, we'll all need each other

Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would

But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover

Cause everything comes out the way it should

Verse:

Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door

Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more

His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor

Mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for

Prechorus:

Everybody here's got a story to tell

Everybody's been through their own hell

There's nothing too special about getting hurt

Getting over it, that takes the work

Chorus:

Cause one way or another, we'll all need each other

Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would

But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover

Cause everything comes out the way it should

Verse:

Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the week

Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek

Blessed are the ones on the other side

Blessed are we for just being alive

Prechorus:

One day I stopped wanting anything at all

The heavens opened up like a waterfall

No use in worrying about when it ends

Just for now be thankful for what i get

Chorus:

Cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer

It makes no difference the way you wanted it

But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover

Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end

Prechorus:

Seems like life is a palindrome

You cry when you die, you cry when you're born

In between it's all about the ups and downs

Add 'em all together, they cancel each other out

Chorus:

Cause one way or another

One way or another

You won't get what you wanted

You'll get enough, for sure

One way or another

Winter pays for the summer

Won't get what you wanted

What you got'll be good

Verse:

Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door

Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more

His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor

Mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for
