DUNCAN SHEIK LYRICS - That Says It All

"That Says It All"



Hit the town, still dressing down

Looking for some action, Mr. Jagger said it best

He knows you never get, no satisfaction

But Mr. Dylan knows, that everyone is more or less a Rolling Stone

And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better, so I've been told



That says it all, doesn't it?

We always want what we never get

Well listen hear, my friend

I can't continue to pretend that it's alright

'Cause that ain't right, and that ain't right



I hear you're gonna make it big, rake it in

With your master plan, Mr. Hendrix understood

Those are only, a castles made of sand

And Mr. Wilson took some pills and I don't blame him

It's hard to be alive and Mr. Page how he played

Mr. Drake stayed up late and made me cry



That says it all, doesn't it?

We always want what we never get

Well listen hear my friend

I can't continue to pretend that it's alright



They've said it all haven't they?

But what I want, what I want to say

Is listen hear my friend

I can't continue to pretend that it's alright



No matter what we get, we never find our happiness

Ain't that a crime?, Maybe that's why I've been told

Since I was six years old to compromise

But that ain't right, well that ain't right
