[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

[Chorus 1]
When everything is d-d-driving me crazy
Oh, I'm ticking like time bomb and I'm about to blow

[Chorus 2]
What's it going to take to make it?[x2]
I'm a sorry motherfucker
Tired of living in the gutter, get me out of here

[Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]

[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?[x2]
What's it going to take to make it?[x2]
I'm a sorry motherfucker
Tired of living in the gutter, get me out of here

[Chorus 3]

[Outro]
What's it going to take to make it here?[x5]

Mötley Crüe is the symbol of the 1980s rock n roll attitude. Formed in Los Angeles, California on January 17, 1981, the group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, later joined by Mick Mars on the guitar and Vince Neil on the microphone.

Mötley Crüe has revolutionized the rock scene multiple times and officially introduced the idea of the rock show with fireworks, barely dressed girls and flamethrowers. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
