"What's It Gonna Take" lyrics

"What's It Gonna Take"

We were drinking dinner on the sunset strip
The girls doing powder got a little on her lip
It's just another night... Man I can't take this

We're running outta money and I can't pay the rent
The man at the label say we'll never write a hit ... Shit
... Man I can't take this

When everything is dr-dr-driving me crazy
I'm ticking like a time bomb
And I'm about to blow

What's it gonna take to make it?
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'm a sorry motherfucker tired of living in the gutter
Get me outta here
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'll do anything but fake it
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make it here?

So we wrote another song cut a demo on a dime
They didn't like the sound, we didn't fit the times
The radio station said "it's way too loud"

So we took it to the streets just to prove 'em all wrong
We knew we had it right, yeah, we knew it all along
It's just another fight...man I can't take this

Everything is dr-dr-driving me crazy
I'm ticking like a time bomb
And I'm about to blow

What's it gonna take to make it?
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'm a sorry motherfucker tired of living in the gutter
Get me outta here
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'll do anything but fake it
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make it here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?

I'll do anything but fake it, I won't fake it

What's it gonna take to make it?
In the city of sin, yeah the city of angels
What's it gonna take
To make it out of here?

What's it gonna take to make it?
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'm a sorry motherfucker tired of living in the gutter
Get me outta here
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'll do anything but fake it
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make it here?

What's it gonna take to make it?
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'm a sorry motherfucker tired of living in the gutter
Get me outta here
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'll do anything but fake it
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make it here?

What's it gonna take to make it?
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'm a sorry motherfucker tired of living in the gutter
Get me outta here
What's it gonna take to make it?
I'll do anything but fake it
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make it here?
