Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 out of money and I can't pay the rent The man at the label said we'll never write a hit Shit, man, I can't take this [Pre-Chorus] When everything is d-d-driving me crazy Oh, I'm ticking like a time bomb and I'm about to blow [Chorus] What's it going to take to make it? What's it going to take to make it? I'm a sorry motherfucker, tired of living in the gutter, get me out of here What's it going to take to make it? I'll do anything but fake it What's it going to take? What's it going to take to make it here? [Verse 2] 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 them 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 [Pre-Chorus] When everything is d-d-driving me crazy Oh, I'm ticking like a time bomb and I'm about to blow [Chorus] What's it going to take to make it? What's it going to take to make it? I'm a sorry motherfucker, tired of living in the gutter, get me out of here What's it going to take to make it? I'll do anything but fake it What's it going to take? What's it going to take to make it here? [Post-Chorus] What's it gonna take to make it? I'll do anything but fake it, I won't fake it [Bridge] What's it going to take to make it? In the city of sin, yeah, city of angels What's it going to take to make it out of here? [Chorus 2] What's it going to take to make it here? What's it going to take to make it here? What's it going to take to make it? What's it going to take to make it? I'm a sorry motherfucker, tired of living in the gutter, get me out of here What's it going to take to make it? I'll do anything but fake it What's it going to take? What's it going to take to make it here? [Outro] What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah) What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah) What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah) What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah) What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah) What's it going to take to make it here? (What's it take? What's it gonna take? Yeah)
