I 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    Why did his planets die?   If mass equals velocity    He should be flying high    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   When you want it, you can't get it       I 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    Why did his planets die?   If mass equals velocity    He should be flying high       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       I looked around upon that road   But I was all alone   The stars were bright above my head   But slowly changed their form   Now comets come and comets go   Defeated in the end   While stages light with spotlights bright   Another star ascends       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
