You Can't Have Everything

You’ve got fur coats
Filling up your closet
You’ve got your boats
All around the block
You’ve got your doctor
Saying you’ll live forever
You can’t have everything
You’ve got the mermaids
Giving up their waves
You’ve got your enemies
Screaming that you’re brave
You’ve got unwanted visitors
Saying «Jesus saves»
You can’t have everything
You’ve got the watchmakers
Putting back the clocks
You’ve got the caretaker
Draining the pool
You’ve got the Philharmonic
Playing happy birthday
You can’t have everything
You’ve got a house
You’ve paid the mortgage
You’ve got a masterpiece
Lying in storage
You’ve got a thirteenth century
Drawbridge
You can’t have everything
You’ve got lovers saying
«Take our diamond rings»
You’ve got the angels
Can’t you hear them sing?
You’ve got the world
And the gifts it brings
You can’t have everything
You can’t have everything
You don’t have anything
