Texty
[Verse 1]
Did you ever feel you'd never get ahead
Wheels are spinning
Everyone is overtaking you
Avert your eyes
From the game just a moment
Next you know
You spat back out the tube
[Verse 2]
Boil the kettle, read that paper
Pick up what you miss
Pick up what you miss
From the daily news
[Verse 3]
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defense
Tell me how it ends
Tell me how it ends
[Verse 4]
Lay your money down
Dudes, and my illegal pile
Nobody cares
What will become of you
Throw your weight around
You did a patch of ground
Until you climb down
From that point of view
[Verse 5]
Boil the kettle, read that paper
Pick up what you miss
Pick up what you miss
From the daily news
[Verse 6]
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defense
And tell me how it ends
Yeah, tell me how it ends
[Verse 7]
Tell me how it ends
[Verse 8]
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defense
And tell me how it ends
(And tell me how it ends)
And tell me how it all ends
[Verse 9]
You don't get what you want
You don't want what you get
Hard as I try to be satisfied
I haven't found it yet
What I need is a friend
To jump to my defense
Tell me how it ends
(Tell me how it ends)
Tell me how it ends
