Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

살면서 언제나 원하는 걸 다 손에 넣을 수는 없는 거지. 새로운 사랑을 시작하기 위해선 과거의 인연을 발로 차버리지 않을 수 없고, 턱시도를 입고 술잔만 홀짝거리며 반달리즘을 실천할 수는 없는 노릇이지. 때론 술판을 뒤엎고 찢어지는 앰프 앞에서 미친 척을 해야지. 물론 몇 사람은 떠나가겠지만, 또 새로운 친구가 생길수도 있을 테니깐. 네 주위의 사람들이 너를 두고 "한물 갔군"이라거나 "형편없는 녀석"이라고 깔봐도, 뭐 별 수 없는 거지. 어차피 모든 사람에게 칭송받으며 살 수는 없으니. 애시당초 비참함이 없는 삶을 바라는 게 멍청한 일이라며, 삶이란 비참함을 최대한 줄이려고 노력하는 일이란 닥터 그레고리 하우스의 말이 잘 어울린다. 그 드라마의 중요한 테마로 쓰이는 곡이기도 하다. 

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she would meet her connection

At her feet was a footloose man

No, 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 sometime you find

You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

At her feet was a footloose man

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 well you might find

You get what you need

And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

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 well you just might find

You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"

I said to him

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 just might find

You get what you need

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

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 just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

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 just might find

You just might find

You get what you need
