You can't always get it

When you really want it

You can't always get it at all

Just because there's space

In your life it's a waste

To spend your time why don't you wait for the call



(Just gotta get used to it)

We all get it in the end

(Just gotta get used to it)

We go down and we come up again

(Just gotta get used to it)

You irritate me my friend

(This is no social crisis)

This is you having fun

(No crisis)

Getting burned by the sun

(This is true)

This is no social crisis

Just another tricky day for you



You can always get higher

Just because you aspire

You could expire even knowing.

Don't push the hands

Just hang on to the band

You can dance while your knowledge is growing



(It could happen anytime)

You can't expect to never cry

(Patience is priceless)

Not when you try to fly so high

(Just stay on that line)

Rock and roll will never die

(This is no social crisis)

[etc.]



Another tricky day

Another gently nagging pain

What the papers say

Just seems to bring down heavier rain

The world seems in a spiral

Life seems such a worthless title

But break out and start a fire y'all

It's all here on the vinyl

(No crisis)

[etc.]



[Repeat verse 1.]



(Just gotta get used to it)

Gotta get used to waiting

(Just gotta get used to it)

You know how the ice is

(Just gotta get used to it)

It's thin where you're skating

(This is no social crisis)

[etc.]



Just another tricky day for you fellah
