What’s It Gonna Take? Songtext
von Flox

I′ve gotta tell you this thing
I never thought I could be
I can't believe it, it′s happening to me
I was always the first one to fight back
And now I'm right behind turning my back
Turning my back to so many things
The bell rings again tigalingaling
Round two with such a different view
Lingers in my soul with an impression de déjà vu
Of course I've felt this before
It′s not the first time you knock on my door
The only difference is I′ve got kids to feed
And I just don't want to fuck up their needs
Good on paper, but will I lie
To myself about what′s going on
Do I wait for later or do I reply


What's it gonna take me
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
What′s it gonna take
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up

What's it gonna take me
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
What′s it gonna take
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up


So you ask me, what's going on
I don't know where to start been sleeping for so long
War, pollution, hate, destruction
Lies, truth, promises, illusion
Fear, attack, death, religion
Cheat, wealth, poverty, brain masturbation
I could keep on going till I′m out of inspiration
And all this for what? "Power and possession"
I don′t know if I can do more
Than writing songs, respecting folks next door
And after all, what's it really worth
I wouldn′t give a f*** if I weren't born on earth
Who would, take a look from space
At ourselves, at our precious human race
And you′ll realize that we're not worth more
Than a stone on a seashore

What′s it gonna take, what's it gonna take me
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
What's it gonna take
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
What′s it gonna take me
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up

...

To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
To get up, to get up, to get up, to get up
