If mass equals velocity He should be flying high You don't always get what you want, babe You don't always get what you want, babe You don't always get what you want When you want it, you can't get it I met a man all dressed in black While walking down life's road He was one of five One who cannot share his heavy load Now Jagger is a superstar Why did his planets die?
