If You Want It - Andy White

If you want it

Come and get it

It’s the last long evening

On the planet

We’re hit for six by politics

Treading water in the deep end for too long

Now we’re in the shit

I seen your boyfriend

He looks familiar

I heard him laughing from a poor man

Thought the poor man was his cousin

Who was in a fix

You had your chance

And you blew it

You had the game

In the palm of your hand

And you threw it

If you want it

Come and get it

It’s the last long evening

On the planet

Corporation got you yearning

For the latest great invention

Got you working for the man

And never learning

Watch the meter, not the media

Dinosaurs walked for more than 60 million years

We’re just Ophelia

You had your chance

And you blew it

You had the game

In the palm of your hand

And you threw it

If you want it

Come and get it

It’s the last long evening

On the planet (x2)

Why does it feel so bad

When you look so good

Too much plastic surgery and all that

Genetically-modified food

Goodbye, John Wayne

Filming cowboys shooting Indians

Was never more than pandering

To foolish hate, it’s not

Checkmate, you thought you’d be rescued by a man

Who wore the colors of the Empire State

You had your chance

And you blew it

You had the game

In the palm of your hand

And you threw it

It’s not too late

Though you threw it

The game’s still waiting on the ground

Just get down to it

If you want it

Come and get it

It’s the last long evening

On the planet (x2)
