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
