[INTRO]

Alright, now this is a story

From a few years back

It’s ‘Bout a young man

He’d always get what he wanted

But it didn’t work out

He got stabbed in the back

Oh yeah, hey yeah

[VERSE 1]

Many lengths that he’ll take it to

Does what he want to take from you

He’s always right and they’re always wrong

Reject reality to make his own

[PRE CHORUS]

He’d run around like he owns the place

He’d run around and stick it in their face

[CHORUS]

But that’s how you get what you want

And you take what you need

So don’t you get caught

Cause they’ll throw away the key

[VERSE 2]

Dirty lies and ignores advice

And if they catch him it won’t be nice

[PRE CHORUS]

They gonna lock him up and let him rot

There ain’t no other way to make him stop

[CHORUS}

But that’s how you get what you want

And you take what you need

So don’t you get caught

Cause they’ll throw away the key

[BRIDGE]

You’re on the run

Ain’t no fun

Your time is done

Well you can’t have won

[SOLO]

[CHORUS]

Woah yeah you get what you want

And you take what you need

Oh so don’t you get caught

You gotta throw away the key

Yeah I get what I want

(I want it)

And I get what I need

(I need it)

Now I have what I got

(I got it)

And I got what I have, yeah

(I have it)

Come on

[BRIDGE]

I’m on the run

Ain’t no fun

My time is done

Ooh have I won?

[OUTRO]

I don’t know

Ooh you gotta get what you want yeah
