Rusted Root - You Can't Always Get What You Want lyrics

I saw her today at the reception

a glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was going

to meet her connection

I could tell

by her blood stained hands

You can't always get

what you want

You can't always get

what you want

No you can't always get

what you want

but if you try sometimes

well you 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 Mr. Jimmy

and man

did he look pretty ill

We decided

that we would have a soda

my favorite flavor vanilla cream

and I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

and he said one word to me

and that was dead

You can't always get

what you want

You can't always get

what you want

No you can't always get

what you want

but if you try sometimes

well you might find

you get what you need

I went down

to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Saying we're gonna vent

our frustration

And if we don't we're gonna blow

a fifty amp fuse
