Give me lots of money
A house upon a hill
Send me pretty women
Or threaten me and still

I'll come up to your house
And attempt to fix your sink
Do a mediocre job
As I'm leaving you will think

If you're needing something
You know that I'll be gone
I will not answer when you call
If you're waiting for me
Then you'll be waiting long
I can't be counted on at all

My eye is on the pork
The pork is in the pan
If something needs a'doing
Well you know I'm not your man

If you're counting on me
You know I'll let you down
You can't be counting on me
Cause you know I'm just a clown

(Meat Puppets)

You Can't Always Get What You Want -

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand.
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,
At her feet was her foot-loose man.

And you can't always get what you want,
Honey, you can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!

We went down to the demonstration to get our fair share of abuse,
Singing, "We gonna vent our frustration."
If we don't we'll blow a fifty amp fuse.
So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled.
I was standing in line with my friend, Mr. Jimmy.
And man, did he look pretty ill.
We decided that we would have a soda,
My fav'rite flavor was cherry red.
I sing this song to my friend, Jimmy,
And he said one word to me and that was "dead."

And you can't always get what you want, honey.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!

I saw her today at the reception.
In her glass was a bleeding man.
She was practised at the art of deception;
I could tell by her blood-stained hands.

And you can't always get what you want, honey.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!

And you can' always get what you want, honey,
You can't always get what you want,
You cant always get what you want,
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
