You Can't Get It Songtext
von John Lees

Met a man all dressed in white
While walking down life′s road
He was one of four
Who would not share his heavy load
Now Lennon is a superstar
While it is his plan to die
If mass equals velocity
He should be flying high

But you don't always get what you want, babe
You don′t always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want
And when you want it you can't get it


Met a man all dressed in black
While walking down life′s road
He was one of five
One who cannot share his heavy load
Now Jagger is a superstar
While it is his plan to die
If mass equals velocity
He should be flying high

But you can′t always get what you want, babe
You can't always get what you want, babe
You can′t always get what you want
And when you want it you can't get it

Looked around upon that road
But I was all alone
The stars were bright above my head
But slowly changed their form
Now colors come and colors go
Defeated in the end
While stages light with spotlights bright
Another star was seen

But you don′t always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want, babe
You don′t always get what you want
And when you want it you can't get it
