Lyrics If You Want It - Andy White

If You Want It

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)
