Hit the town, still dressing down
Looking for some action
Mr. Jagger said it best, he knows you never get
No satisfaction
But Mr. Dylan knows that everyone is more or less
A rolling stone
And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better
Or so I've been told
That says it all, doesn't it?
We always want what we never get
Well listen, hear, my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright
'Cause that ain't right, that ain't right
I hear you're gonna make it big, rake it in
With your master plan,
Mr. Hendrix understood those are only
Castles made of sand
And Mr. Wilson took some pills and I don't blame him
It's hard to be alive
And Mr. Page, how he played, Mr. Drake stayed up late
And made me cry
That says it all, doesn't it?
We always want what we never get
Well listen, hear, my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright
They've said it all, haven't they?
But what I want, what I want to say
Is listen, hear, my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright
No matter what we get
We never find our happiness, ain't that a crime?
Maybe that's why I've been told
Since I was six years old to compromise
But that ain't right, no, that ain't right
