Satisfaction Lyrics
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I and try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watching my TV and a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me
I can't get no. Oh, no no no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no girl with action
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm ridin' round the world and I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no. Oh, no no no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
I can't get no, I can't get no, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
He's tellin me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
'Cause I try and I try and I and try
I can't get no, I can't get no
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me
I can't get no. Oh, no no no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no. Oh, no no no. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say
No satisfaction, no satisfaction

It's a song about social alienation, and about its consequences on the individual experiencing it. When you distance yourself from society's' conventions and personal relationships you gain your individuality but lose your sense of gratification.
Very simply! It's a song that criticizes the consumerism of our society
awesome song, a true classic
Baby, better come back maybe next week 'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no girly action Are Correct.
"When I'm watching my TV and a man comes on and tells me How white my shirts can be But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me"
this verse seems to bring up the anti-capitalist notion that possession and consumption do not equal true satisfaction- since to possess is simply to own/have, and things to be consumed are temporary.
The Beatles wanted to 'Hold Your Hand' but the Stones wanted to get real 'Satisfaction'
@thegabeman What about Fish and Finger Pie in Penny Lane......for an unsophisticated world without the pill in 1965 that was satisfaction...

Wherever he goes he can't get any satisfaction from anyone.
