about

This song is a tongue-in-cheek take on letting go of our control in life's crazy journey. It always works out better than how we had it planned in our head!

lyrics

As a child I wanted strawberry mousse
To my dismay it was Taramasalata

You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after

I went to the hairdresser, I asked for red
Orange is not what I said.

You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after

As a teen I dreamed of an Italian Stallion
I fell for a Swiss German

You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after

I spent my life trying to think and concentrate
Then I end up learning meditate
Om

You don't always get what you think you're after
You don't always get what you think you're after

Aha aha aha aha
Aha aha aha aha

Aha aha aha aha
Aha aha aha aha

You don't always get what you think you're after
