Can someone correct this sentence?

I can't get no satisfaction, but I try and I try.

    The word "no" is redundant. The expression "try and try" is a bit hackneyed, but in informal writing it's okay.

    I am unable to acquire satisfaction, but I continue with my attempts. 

    (It would be fun to hear Mick Jagger singing in correct English).

    You can't 'correct' song lyrics.

    Ask Mick Jagger or Britney Spears. 

    The word "no" in this sentence is slangy.  It makes a double negative.  "Any" would be grammatically correct.

    The sentence is correct, because it's a lyric from (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones.

    I can't acquire any amount of satisfaction, but I keep trying to do so.
