We were drinkin' dinner on the sunset strip
The girls doin' powder got a little on her lip
It's just another night, man 
I can't take this
We're runnin' outta 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
When everything is d-d-drivin' me crazy
Oh, I'm tickin' like 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 mother****er
Tired of livin' 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
When everything is d-d-drivin' me crazy
Oh, I'm tickin' like 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 mother****er
Tired of livin' 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
In the city of sin, yeah, city of angels?
What's it gonna take to make it outta here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?
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 mother****er
Tired of livin' 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 here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?
What's it gonna take to make it here?
