Everyone Gets Everything They Want Lyrics by Tom Morello
The land is gray and empty
The sea empty and gray
The sky is gray and empty too
The pilot’s lost his way
The dust, it settles everywhere
In the eyes, the mouth, the soul
The dust settles in the chaos
Where you think you’ve gained control
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
They want, they want
A handwritten score
Left in the backseat of a cab
A monkey sworn to vengeance
In the back cage of a lab
Seen in a smeared reflection
In an elevator mirror
Headed to the penthouse suite
With a machete and a beer
I’m the only one can save us
And I can’t save myself
Eleven players took the field
The gunman was the twelfth
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
They want, they want
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
They want, they want
We’re so close to them, these precious beasts
I feel the tide is turning
You can smell it coming from the mall
Rack of cashmere sweaters burning
For every emperor, a Spartacus
For every parliament, Guy Fawkes
An armed prophet with a vision
And a compass pointing north
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
They want, they want
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
Everyone gets everything
They want
