| But if you | try sometimes, you just might | find, you get what you | need! |
| I went down to the demonstration, - To get my fair share of abuse. |
| Singing: "We're gonna vent our frustration! - If we don't we're gonna blow a fivty amp fuse!" |
| You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
| I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store, - To get your prescription filled. |
| I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy, - And man did he look pretty ill! |
| We decided that we would have a soda, - my favorite flavour - cherry red. |
| I sung my song to Mister Jimmy, - and he said one word to me and that was "dead". |
| I said: You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
Interlude: brief electric solo and choir, instrumental

| you get what you | need! |
| I saw her today at the reception, - in her glass was a bleeding man. |
| She was practiced at the art of deception, - I could tell by her bloodstained hands. |
| You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
