You Always Get What You Want
Navigating Desire's Maze: Yukon Blonde's Reflection on Modern Life
Lyrics
Saturdays used to be fun
Saturdays used to be enjoyable
Whatever we did never hurt no one
Our activities didn't harm anyone
These days we spend them at the mall
Nowadays, Saturdays are spent at the mall
With money we don't have
Using money we don't actually possess
Gonna spend it all
Planning to spend it all
Sundays too, used to be chill
Sundays, which used to be relaxed
We'd be down at the space or out on the field
We used to be at a specific place or outdoors
These days we spend them in bed
Now spent in bed, glued to phones, lost in thoughts
Can't get off our phones or out of our heads
Unable to detach from technology or thoughts
You always get what you want
Repetition emphasizing that getting what one wants is a constant theme
You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
-When I'm home you take my time
When at home, you consume my time
When I go out you rule my mind
When I go out, you dominate my thoughts
You own my friends and family
You have influence over my friends and family
Don't you know that nothing from nothing leaves nothing?
Highlighting the concept that without something, you get nothing
You always get what you want
Repeated assertion that one consistently obtains what they desire
You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
-I should have known it then
Reflecting on past ignorance
Those days were the best days
Recalling that those days were the best, despite being bored
We were bored but at least we kept our own pace
Emphasizing maintaining one's pace even in boredom
I'm giving up all the these games cuz
Deciding to abandon games and illusions
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
Reiterating that nothing comes from nothing
You always get what you want
Reiterated message that getting what one wants is a constant
You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
-You always get what you want
