You can’t always get what
you want.
You can’t always get what
you need.
Be careful when you plant the
seed.
Pay attention the signs you heed.
Sometimes you get what you want.
And the consequences are deep
indeed.
They are the difference in the
seed.
The difference between want and
need.
Sometimes you get what you need.
And you may take it with no heed.
But if you do not take it,
The consequences could be deep
indeed.
So read the signs and be careful
what you want.
Tomorrow will come and it may be
gaunt.
You may not get what you thought.
But what you need, you’ll
want.
