Can’t Have It All Walter Trout

The movers and the shakers
They seem to have it figured out
They got plenty of money
They know what it's all about
You watch them on the TV
And you begin to feel
You can't beat 'em so you join 'em
Go get all that you can steal
Oh yeah, soon you're headed for a fall
No matter what you have
Lord, you can never have it all

Sometimes we get so angry
And we just don't understand
Sometimes when we play the game
It don't go like we plannеd
So we blame it on the dеaler
He mustn't be an honest man
And we tell ourselves that we're the victims
And start cheatin' when we can
Oh yeah, that's when the police begin to call
You got to learn the lesson you can never have it all

The politicians painted smile
Soon begins to fade
He's drunk on booze and power
Like a priest who just got laid
His façade begin to crumble
And now he wears a frown
And the liberal press finds such a mess
When they pull his trousers down
Oh yeah, now he's got reporters waitin' in the hall
He didn't realize he can never have it all
