The Darksiders - You Always Want What You Can’t Get Lyrics

Burn midnight oil, aim for the top
Get a bigger raise, you never stop
Push every limit, reach for the sky
End up with nothin, when it goes awry
Listen close, I've seen the toll
Chasing dreams can eat you whole
Not every ladder leads to fame
Sometimes it's just a losing game
You can't always get what you want
She said with carefree nonchalance
But the thing I will always regret
You always want what you can't get
You dream of fortune, beyond compare
Tried to beat the market, you had no prayer
Holding stocks through thick and thin
But money can't buy peace within
So let me tell you something true
Not every gold rush is for you
Sometimes the richest thing you'll find
Is in the simple, peace of mind
You can't always get what you want
She said with carefree nonchalance
But the thing I will always regret
You always want what you can't get
So let me tell you something true
Not every gold rush is for you
Sometimes the richest thing you'll find
Is in the simple, peace of mind
You can't always get what you want
She said with carefree nonchalance
But the thing I will always regret
You always want what you can't get
Chase pretty women, in your eyes
But they want to get with other guys
No time or hard earned money spent
Will keep her from that other gent
So hear these words, and take them in
Not every heart's, a prize to win
Sometimes the love you try to buy
Can't be won no matter how you try
You can't always get what you want
She said with carefree nonchalance
But the thing I will always regret
You always want what you can't get
What you can't get
What you can't get
