Lyrics

[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
