Aaron Lewis - Get What You Get Lyrics






Well, you can't strike a match and then dance in the fire
And cry every time you get burned
It's like crackin' the seal and then blamin' the bottle
A soberin' lesson to learn

And I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

You can't keep tellin' lies and changin' your story
And expect the whole world to believe
And use the Stars and the Stripes to serve your own glory
Yeah, that flag ain't flyin' with me

'Cause I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

So, put your cards on the table and start tellin' some truth
If you're gonna point fingers, well I got two for you

When your watered-down story starts to taste like cheap whiskey
A man can get drunk on your life
But my hangover's gone and my give-a-fuck's empty
It's gone just like yesterday's wine

'Cause I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

Sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get
You get what you get

  50. G.... J....

    @Thomas Wilson We would be a lot farther along if people realized that simple fact. It's a big club and we ain't in it

  51. D.... M....

    LoL, he's talking about Biden

  54. J.... A....

    Hell yes. A song like this is starting to get through to more and more people. Sounds beautiful as well.

  55. j.... ....

    The best part about his country songs are that he isn’t writing them to make a fast buck, he is writing about his life. Like the good old days of country, Merle, Waylon and cash.

  56. L.... W....

    I 💯 agree ! He is a great real story teller because I believe he has experienced these things and feelings in his life and some of us can relate to that and and you can feel the raw emotions in most of of the songs he writes .

  57. P.... D....

    “Three chords and the truth”.

    Well okay more like 4 or 5 chords for this one, but still 💯

  58. j.... ....

    @Kevin Evans iron maiden song. Before I went to trade school

  59. t.... ....

    This new album is about America more than anything

  60. M.... A....

    A lot of people don’t appreciate crossover artists as much bc they fall flat or their fan base can’t handle them trying a new creative medium. Aaron Lewis is one of those artists that can venture into any medium and make something out of nothing while growing any ever surging fan base that will follow him no matter where he goes…

  61. A.... S....

    Upchurch as well, love these 2 guys

  62. J.... S....

    I sometimes check out the satellite radio country stations and they never play Aaron Lewis.
    It's the same with CMT. They don't play music videos anymore except late at night and yet no Aaron Lewis.
    It's as if they blacklisted him.

  63. O.... F....

    😂

  64. L.... W....

    Hit the nail on the head love his cross over .

  65. S.... G....

    Another hit Aaron Lewis!! Love it. Your lyrics always ring true. Can’t wait for your concert in February!!

  66. A.... S....

    Love your music brother! Every song I feel and use as an outlet to feel better through pain I'm dealing with

  67. T.... A....

    Another day, another great song from Aaron. Thank you for making my morning this much better, Aaron.

  68. S.... W....

    I wish I could have known you as a friend.. but I feel very blessed to have you here.. you and your music have kept me company on many many different occasions.. I know quite a few musicians.. but you are the one I have always wanted to meet and just have a conversation with.. perhaps a few drinks.. I think you are great, and I truly appreciate you, and wish you and yours nothing but bright days to come.. Thank you for what you do.. it has meant a whole lot to me over the years.. your music is just so damn relatable.. 🔥

  69. S.... G....

    *_so you're unpatriotic as well then?_*

  70. r.... r....

    Though I do not know you, that was well said my friend & I 100% fill the same way.
    Cheers my friend!!’

  71. W.... C....

    I don't know how this guy does it, but how does he seemingly outwrite himself. I haven't heard just a "good" song from him, but nothing but awesome songs.

  72. S.... A....

    Fuckin' RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Keep 'em coming!!!!!! I've been with you, since the beginning of the Staind days and won't be going ANYWHERE, long as I'm on THIS side of the dirt!

  73. B.... D....

    Amen Brother. It's about time for them to get what they got coming.

  74. T.... I....

    @Adam Craig words to live by--- unfortunately most don't care or can't be bothered

  75. k.... ....

    Oh yea? Who is "them" and what do they have coming little girl?

  76. J.... ....

    @Brett Doney fake elections like the last one, why I didn't vote, saw it coming.

  77. N.... ....

    @Steve King exactly, it’s time for a civil war

  78. K.... L....

    Always gives me goosebumps. Your voice is so emotional and heart felt. Thank you for being you Aaron. ❤

  79. B.... H....

    Aaron ,
    God bless you man, God bless America ! 🙏🦅🇺🇲

  80. A.... H....

    Amen Aaron, keep giving what you give! I admire how you stay true to yourself and speak your truth unapologetically. Always amazing and an inspiration. ♥

  81. F.... U....

    There’s that voice, singing truths again!
    Thank you Aaron! This is amazing♥️🇺🇸

  82. J.... M....

    A message of personal accountability for ones own well being. (breathes in deeply) aaaaaaahhhhhhh, that’s fresh.

    Aaron Lewis doing God’s work with this message. A living Legend.

  83. K.... L....

    Absolutely beautiful song & truths people need to hear. Especially these days!! Aaron is like a light in the dark. Thank you. Xo

  84. C.... S....

    I'm worried it might be too good. I've never really been able to pick a favorite because I love everything you've done but I honestly think this has instantly become my favorite Aaron Lewis song 💖

  85. D.... P....

    Aaron, thank you SO MUCH, for writing songs like these: a true masterpiece for the working man, blue-collar, loud and proud AMERICAN....

  86. k.... ....

    Good stuff as always, Aaron. Well done, Sir.

  87. C.... ....

    Genuine...Powerful...Lyrics. Empathy at it's finest! I love this man and I'm blessed to have watched him sing several times.

  88. B.... ....

    This has to be some of the best lyrics ever written!

  89. M.... B....

    Absolutely amazing . Arron your music hits us right in the heart , you sing what we are all feeling. Your passion and words are a blessing .

  90. g.... ....

    很好聽!Great song with great voice!👍😄👏
    You make me love country music!
    謝謝分享, thanks for sharing!
    A friend from Taiwan (not China).

  91. D.... O....

    It’s weird, over thanks giving we had our kids home. All but our oldest, who is deployed to Kuwait with the 82nd & I can’t remember how but something about blue eyes was mentioned.
    It got me thinking back to the days when I was still illegal in the US, how I first encountered staind in a place called infinity in the 90’s while visiting friends (it’s probably closed or renamed now as that’s literally going 30 years ago now) I listened to staind as I became a permanent resident & enlisted in the US army. As I became a citizen, dropped a packet & went SF. As I DD214 & contracted. As I became a civilian again. Literally right through every major event in my life I’ve been a fan & progressed with the music. Even now as I’m older, a little more broken & twisted the music is just like a fine whiskey, it only gets better with time. Fuck it, I’m rambling bullshit now. It’s just something that’s been going around in my head from last weekend (thanks giving) & less than a week, a song drops. I think that calls for an evening of some music, a smoke or two & a drink with the wife tomorrow night to remember back.

  92. S.... M....

    Thank you for your story and for your SERVICE as well as to your oldest who is serving! I am a daughter of a deceased Veteran of Vietnam. My heart is full for the love of people and my country. God bless.

  93. B.... A....

    Thank you for your service!

  94. R.... ....

    Thanks for your service. This man makes music for people like you

  95. J.... M....

    It's a good song but I really wish he would go ahead and release "Someone"! My wife and I seen Aaron Lewis a few weeks ago in West Virginia and he was freaking Awesome! The "Someone" song is a really great song and I think a lot of people will relate to it. I pre-ordered Aaron's new album and can't wait until it's released!

  96. c.... ....

    Aaron never disappoints.

  97. C.... J....

    I need this on the radio...Totally speaks about America's current landscape...we are living through history and 100 years from now the new American generations will judge what happened in the USA 🇺🇸 in the 20's

  98. A.... I....

    I love this man! Easily one of my favorite artists.

  99. L.... D....

    Beautiful song! ❤️

  100. d.... j....

    Had to listen 2 times through! LOVE this song
