Screaming Jets, The - Black & White Lyrics

Don't walk that road without your shoes on
She said your gonna cut your feet
But I wasn't listening
I turned on my heel and walked off bleeding down the street
Don't stand around in the rain
You know you'll catch your death of cold
My bones are aching, shivering, shaking
Got me feeling kinda old

It's not good enough in black and white
You're never gonna hear the word
You don't always get what you ask for
You always get what you deserve

Don't give your faith to a stranger
They just might take it when they leave
And you won't have a leg to stand on
They'll shatter everything that you believe
Try not to forget where it started
'Cause that's gonna be where it ends
But I was too far gone to remember what he said
So I guess I'll just have to pretend

It's not good enough in black and white
You never want to hear the word
You don't always get what you ask for
But you always get what you deserve
You know you're gonna get it

You never want to hear the words
But it's all there in black and white
You can never expect what you ask for
But you're gonna get what you deserve

It's never good enough in black and white
You never want to hear the words
You don't always get what you're askin' for
But you're gonna get what you deserve
