I'm coughing up a lung or two
Just so you know I'm breathing well, in front of you
I'm holding out a knife or two,
Just so you know I'm standing, next to you
And you can't be always be down or out.
But if you try,
You won't be found.
And you can't always get what you want.
That's for sure.

I'm sending out a note or two,
That says were all going to the same place,
So it doesn't matter where you are in line.
I'm holding one hand or two,
Depending if were walking or dancing,
Either way I'm feeling fine.
You can't always be down or out.
But if you try,
You won't be found.
And you can't always get, what you want.

You can't always be down or out,
But if you try,
You won't be found.
And you can't always get what you want.
That's for sure.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Yeah, that's for sure.
