What’s It Gonna Take? Songtext
von Van Morrison

What′s it gonna take for you to wake up?
What's it gonna take for you to break?
There′s no time to make your mind up
Just to realize this is fake
What's it gonna take?

(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?)

Politicians don't represent the people
Government doesn′t represent us at all
Government takes and ruins all our business
Big tax about to take it all

What's it gonna take for you to wake up?
What's it gonna take for you to break?
There′s no time to make your mind up
You just gotta realize this is all fake
What′s it gonna take?


(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?)

When I wake on the noon now, baby
Overwhelmin' odds against us
Lockdown is makin′ us crazy
Freedom is our God given right
Want to divide us, not unite us
Got slight in sight and on their right
Make your own way and pay your tax
But they won′t take the foot off your neck

What's it gonna take for you to wake up?
What′s it gonna take for you to break?
There's no time to make your mind up
Just realize this is all fake
What′s it gonna take?

(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?)


What′s it gonna take for you to wake up?
What's it gonna take for you to break?
There′s no time to make your mind up
Just realize this is all fake
What's it gonna take?

(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?)

What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What′s it gonna take?) What's it gonna take?
(What's it gonna take?) What′s it gonna take?
Yeah
