"What It Takes" lyrics - THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES

What it takes
Is in between the lines
Make or break
Ignored the warning signs
A daily dose of nothing you can use
Shortsighted, misguided with a very short fuse
Solid solution and it's a, a perfect plan
So circle back around and get back to me when you can
This just might be the last chance you've got left so let's

[Chorus:]
Turn up the volume
The system should be sound
Jump up, get back and turn yourself around

Look at this but don't look at that
It's hit or miss
Is this where we're at?
No moral compass on the lower road
Front row seating overheating and
Ready to explode
Dead on arrival
Out of the gate
There might be a revival, you're just gonna have to wait
There might not be a better time for this so let's

[Chorus:]
Turn up the volume
The system should be sound
Jump up, get back and turn yourself around
Turn up the volume
The system should be sound
Jump up, get back and turn yourself around

[Post-Chorus:]
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around

So when you've been out at the riots and you've been down to the beach
You've got the right to remain quiet and the freedom from your speech
This just might be the last chance you've got left so let's

[Chorus:]
Turn up the volume
The system should be sound
Jump up, get back and turn yourself around
Turn up the volume
The system should be sound
Jump up, get back and turn yourself around

[Post-Chorus:]
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around

[Outro:]
This just might be the last chance we have left
