Paroles de Things i won't get

A pulitzer prize
A oscar or two
Are things i won't get
Things i won't get

A bentley or benz
Well don't hold your breath
Of things i won't get
Things i won't get

A fares with a star
Who offers me dough
Far in advance
Far in advance

A college degree
A job with some hope
There's just no chance
There's just no chance

But when i see you lying by my side
Looking extra clean
I'm in a state where i don't mind
My thoughts turn obscene

String theory (?) and such
Are things i won't get

Things a won't get
Schoenberg and twelve-tone
And films out of french
Are things a won't get
Things a won't get
A chair that's designed by charles and ray eames
Are things i won't get
Things i won't get

But when i see you lying by my side
I understand you well
I'm in a state where i don't mind
I guess it's just as well

The world is so hard
The people so mean
Of things i don't get
Things i don't get
We sit on the floor
And talk about dreams
Of things we won't get
Things we won't get

But when i see you lying by my side
Looking extra keen
I'm in a state where i don't mind
Just you and me and caffeine
