Lyrics
You Can't Have It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The warning signs were all there
The tingling on end hair
The loudest voice was your own
The oil fields were burning
The wheels of commerce turning
The king sat smiling on his throne
But you're lleft out on your own
v Told to love the hate you're thrown
We're throwing out the tyrants...
Is this the life that you want?
Is this the world that you want?
Is this the love that you take for granted?
Is this the life that you take?
The world you want but you can't have it
Marginalized and suppressed
"How could you criticize us?"
devoted to a higher cause
not made of flag waving
troop support and blind faith
we'll lead the charge, the coup d'etat
wrap the propaganda
in any flag you want to
keep their eyes shut
scared of everything
