They’re getting by with the world
With the money
It’s clear that it’s lacking at the back and front
But there is help from the authorities
If you apply
For paperwork you’re better disposed
If you are poor
Otherwise it will be hard
Also for the children
They get to feel it
Every day with little stitches
They’re getting by, but that’s the way it is
Anyone who wants to know can know
It’s in the newspaper
It’s a topic on television
Boils up on the talk show
Then you can sugarcoat it
What?! There are pros as well when it comes to child poverty?
Wake up! Of course there are
Would it be like this otherwise?
They’re getting by with the world
It’s not always about money
If you love each other and stick together
You have fun and enjoy each other
Go for a walk outside the zoo
Seeing the animals for free
The neighbors help and sometimes a foundation
There’s little to complain about at school skills
There’s so much more that’s important in life
There’s nothing good about losing heart
And sure, there are seven euros more than last year
It’s true: they’re getting by
Close to the subway under the roof
She sits and thinks about the last year
If the train doesn’t rumble, the washing machine bounces
Everything wobbles along like at a rumbling queen’s
And sure, there are seven euros more than last year
It’s true: they’re getting by
She and the two children
