[NEW DIRECTIONS]
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you'll find
You get what you need
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
Oh, I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
No, you can't (You can't always get what you want)
Oh, no, no you can't (You can't always get what you want)
What you want... (You can't always get what you want)
You can't always get what you want
[NEW DIRECTIONS, (MERCEDES), (FINN)]
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need (Hey, yeah)
You get what you need (Oh, baby)
[RACHEL]
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
[RACHEL & FINN]
Singin', we're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse
Sing it to me now
