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, 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, and 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, a 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, well that ain't right
