Here's What It Takes

Here's what it takes to survive; Saturday's fever means you're staying alive Of course An 8-ball of coke You're angry and broke My Mother misspoke by telling me the truth Here's what it takes to believe Drink down the Drano 'til the demons all leave I won't go I told you I don't want to know Here's what it takes to regret Wake up sleepwalking in your father's footsteps The fridge door was open again There's leftover blame You're eating your shame and choking on the truth Here's what it takes to be heard And we rejoin us to discouraging words I won't go I told you I don't want to know Oh whoa whoa Oh whoa whoa Oh whoa whoa What we once kept hidden from our parents Now we keep it hidden from our kids No second chances ever in this life Just another chance to make the same mistake twice Here's what it takes to deny Let's make a movie 'bout a hardworking guy Who wastes time with family and friends And likes to pretend That when it all ends he is closer to the truth And if the least you can do You fail your parents like you think they failed you And let go I told you I don't want to know Noooooooooooo Here's what it takes Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes (Here's what it takes to forget) Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes (Here's what it takes from you yet) Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes (Here's what it takes to believe) Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes (Here's what it takes from you and me) Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes Here's what it takes Here's what Here's what it takes Here's what it takes
