I was looking at the stars but all I could see was a TV satellite | And the slipstream of an aeroplane bisecting the night | We are bored in the city because the Temple of the Sun | Got turned into a theme bar for over 21s | You don't get what you give, you get what you're given | But man, just see how large you're livng | Oh don't you know it's true? | After all this time I think you finally understand | Why all the things that smell so good always taste so bland | You keep on telling me about all the things you've got | But man, all that I can see are all the things you've lost | You don't get what you give, you get what you're given
