I saw you that day at the reception
A glass of wine in your hand
I knew that you would make connections
Their deaths to a video man

No, you can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
But if you try sometime you lie
You'll say what you need

We went down to the interogation
You say you're not used to abuse
Yelling and venting your frustration
Your "What difference does it make?" was quite the ruse

You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might lie
You'll say what you need

We all heard that dear Chelsea's pregnant
You say your proscription's filled
You were standing in line with Mr. Kerry
And man, did he look pretty ill
You decided that you'd help with cover
Your favorite flavor, bloody red
You told your lies to the media
Yeah, and all we said was, Four Americans "dead"
I said to you

You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might lie
You'll say what you need

You say what you need--yeah, Hillary

I saw you today at the reception
In your hands was cover up plan
You are practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by your blood-stained hands

You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might lie
You just might lie
You'll say what you need

You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
You can't always say what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might lie
You just might lie
You'll say what you need
