Lyrics:
You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve
[Instrumental part]
It began when I was twenty-one years old and my mom and dad were begging me to go
So I left a note and we went and hit the road, me and Chris and all the stuff I own
I went out to find my soul and left the only comfort that I know
It wasn't 'bout a girl or even California bleeding
It was all about me choosing where to go
And I sing: 'You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve'
Oh-ho-oh
You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve
There were years I felt like everything was new long before the troubles of my youth
There were days and nights I couldn't see the end and I swear the music was my only friend
You learn a lot about forgiveness when you choose to let down all your pride, oh-oh, oh-oh
I don't wanna be so famous, I just wanna to sing until I die
So sing it: 'You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve'
Oh-ho-oh
You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve
When I wish upon a star, I'll tell it how I got this far
[Instrumental part]
It began when I learn how to face myself and I'm still deciding if I'm something else
I'm a million different people all the time, but there's only one of me to get it right
I'm gonna get it right
Oh-oh, I'm gonna get it right, I'm gonna get it right, oh-oh-oh
You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve
Oh-ho-oh
You are never gonna get everything you want in this world
First things first, get what you deserve
You are never gonna get (never gonna get) everything you want in this world (oh)
First things first, get what you deserve (first things first)
You are never gonna get (never gonna get) (never gonna get) everything you want in this world (everything you want)
(First things first) first things first, get what you deserve (oh-ho-oh-oh) (first things first) (oh-oh-oh)
