Not Gonna Make It Lyrics
We're not gonna make it
Oh, no!
We're not gonna make it
Cause there's a million better bands
with a million better songs
Singers who can drum
Singers who can sing
Deep in my heart,
I do believe
We're not gonna make it
Oh, no!
We're not gonna make it
Cause we don't have the talent
And we don't have the time
We don't have the patience
And we don't know how to rhyme
No, no, no
We're not gonna make it!
Oh, no!
We're not gonna make it
with a million better songs
Singers who can drum
Singers who can sing
I do believe
We're not gonna make it
Oh, no!
We're not gonna make it
And we don't have the time
We don't have the patience
And we don't know how to rhyme
We're not gonna make it!

its about how his bands not the best and that not going to last very long.
And it always bothered me in the song it actually is "Singers who can drum".
Note to PUSA fans: They're back together and making a new album. (at least thats what i heard)
I always thought that was funny. It's a song about how bad they are, so when they screw up the lyrics they don't do another take and just leave it as it is (or maybe that was intentional, but they crack up laughing about it so I don't think so)
They're mocking the people who told them they wouldn't make it.
They intentionally sound like a really bad band by messing up the beginning and starting over, and then missing lines (the correct lyrics are "drummers who can drum," only one of them says "singers").
The only line in the song that rhymes is the one about not knowing how to rhyme. They're saying how ridiculous the criticism sounds.
I love how this song cross fades into Kick Out the Jams so well. Its like a "We made it" thing.
This just sounds completely random, not meaningless, just random.
THEY ARE MAKING A NEW ALBUM!? where did u hear this?
omg its out right now, disregard that last comment made by me
