Why aren't "Got To Give" lyrics included?

Well, stopped by Target this morning to get the CD in my hands... I didn't want to wait until my Ten Club order got here Monday :|

Anyways, at the theater showing the lyrics were incomplete for "Got to Give"... they only showed up at the very end.  Well, same with the CD... it only includes:
"Let's Get to the Point
We All Are Heard and Seen
Let's Get to the Point
We Can Believe

That We Are Better
Together, You and Me

Can Take on Anyone
Anyone

If You Can See
Something's Got to Give"

I wonder why the choice was made to leave the lyrics incomplete... I'm sure somebody on this board can help out :)  I noticed the end of "Running" when Eddie is unintelligibly yelling isn't included either.

    This is odd. Maybe there's a copyright issue?

    Well this is what I hear

    Stormy seas behind your eyes
    A dark moon is sailing on your ? skies
    Whoever said love is a compromise
    Is you
     
    Castles falling turning into sand
    The high tide is crumbing on the rocks we stand
    Never could believe a single word they said
    About you
     
    And here I am just picking up the parts
    A broken engine, busted, lifted up on blocks
    Should’ve made the turn, when the road got rough
    But who knew
     
    I’ll be the last one standing
    I’ll be the first to forgive you
    Shook away, empty handed
    Breaking my heart, until something gives
     
    I saw the doctor, said I’m falling apart
    There’s heartbreak, connection, all the blood dried up
    Said he couldn’t fix it, had to open me up
    Just like you
     
    I cant stand it cos its no way to live
    The pain of this everyday has got to give
    Give me liberty or give me death
    Over you
     
    I’ll be the last one standing
    I’ll be the first to forgive you
    Stood away, empty handed
    Breaking my heart, until something gives

    Getting to the point, where I can breathe
    Getting to the point, where I’ve got nothing to say
    Getting to the point, where I have come
    Need a friend, lets get to the point
    We are all heard and seen
    Lets get to the point, we can, we can believe
    That we are better
    Together you and me
    Take on anyone
     
    Somethings got to give

    I noticed same thing. There is definitely a theme to most of these songs so my guess is this one is extra personal and chose to leave lyrics out.. obviously pure hypotheses

    Kinda feels like the band just "got to the point" of the lyrics on this one...

    Not surprised.
    I'm thinking back to past albums; some songs had no lyrics in the booklet and others were not at all like they appeared on the song and in some cases, we got only a line or two.

    Back to the old days of not including all of the lyrics from songs & I like that you have to listen closely to work them out

    Agree, underrated, but after that second listen in the cinema, with the visuals etc I was like, that song is so darn good! The ending 🔥

    Could be a near end of first set track before launching into Porch et al. (Or one of the new ones).

    This bridge is just amazing.  This album has some really perfect bridges.  Can't wait to hear them live.

    Every song takes off from the bridge to the outro. It’s nuts.

    I noticed this too about the bridges on DM.  Even on my least favorite track, Wreckage, the bridge is really great.

    One theory I saw in here is because the lyrics are a reference to suicide and/or suicidal ideation.
