Per tirare avanti
Roberto Vecchioni
To Get By
And the kids talk, talk, talk
say nothing, talk, talk, if they talk
they know everything, yeah, now they’ll save us
we sit here like good kids while they save us
spit in the plate but if they're hungry, they eat
make them stop, my kids are crying
just to get by when the adventure fades
just to get by when the day brings fear
And the kids grow up, grow up, grow up
break the ceiling and up they grow, grow
they've got their heads in the clouds and there they see, see
and since God’s not around, they smoke, smoke
say that loving each other can save both the goat and the cabbage
I couldn’t have this big devil’s idea
just to get by when the adventure fades
just to get by when the world brings fear
But the kids believe, believe, believe
at least they believe, that’s for sure, they believe
afterwards as men, they’ll fall apart
the river flows and smooths, smooths the pebbles
more will come with beautiful words
one after another, but we’re still here telling our tales
just to get by when the adventure fades
just to get by when the world brings fear
just to get by when you’ve already believed it all
just to get by when you look under the bed
if there’s nothing under the bed
if there’s nothing under the bed
