We Are Not Going To Make It
POTUS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, no, we're not gonna to make it
'Cause there's a million better bands
With a million better songs
Drummers who can drum
And singers who can sing
I do believe
We're not gonna make it
No, no, we're not gonna to make it
'Cause we don't have the talent
And we don't have the time
And we don't have the patience
And we don't know how to rhyme
Deep in my heart
I do believe
We're not gonna make it
No, no, we're not gonna to make it
Said no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no-no, n-no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no-no, n-no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no-no, n-no, no
We're not gonna make it
Yeah
We're not gonna
make it, according to the lyrics of the song. The song speaks of the fear and insecurity that comes with pursuing a career in music. The lyrics suggest that the band is not good enough to compete with other talented musicians who are more skilled, experienced, and well-equipped. They lack the necessary resources, creativity, and drive to succeed in a highly competitive industry. The song's message is universal and relatable to anyone who has ever felt discouraged or doubtful about their abilities and chances of success.
The lyrics show the struggle of an artist who wants to make it big in the music industry, but who is weighed down by the feeling of inadequacy and self-doubt. The singer expresses his concern about the competition as there are a million better bands with a million superior songs. The song mentions the need for patience, time, and creativity in music making, and how these are qualities that the band feels they lack. The song’s repeated “no”s seems to suggest a resignation to fate, a sense that no matter how hard they try, they will not make it.

Why is it that those who know they never have to fight are so brave with the lives of others?

@Phunemia Sickness Humans are not chickens, they are natural predators, regardless of political affiliation. But, some have become more civilized and socially minded, with the understanding that there is far more strength and success via collaboration and unity.
Only anarchists and/or hermits truly believe in individualism. But, I don't believe in anarchy when it comes to supporting our current leadership.

@Ellie W everyone keeps saying a corrupt government. Zelinsky took over in 2019 winning by a landslide. 2019 then the pandemic happened. He was trying to clean up what previous leadership did, I mean one moved to Russia, the other lost against him and he was very corrupt. The Ukrainians back him up because of what he is trying to do. It takes time to clean up years of corruption. Anyone else would have taken the US offer to leave the country but he chose to defend his country and his people.

@The Hermit I guess your country is not corrupt🤣🤣

This is too scripted. When is someone going to ask something real that doesn’t have a canned answer?

Media needs to do their homework beforehand, maybe there wouldn't be so many stupid questions. And stop arguing with Psaki, reporters are trying to be the news.. not report it.

@Isa Conner WTF do you think you are? You don't understand JS about governance. You are NOT our elected POTUS and I'm very happy with this administration's decisions. The election was over 14 months ago and your chosen one wasn't chosen. Now, accept the fact that he's a loser and strt behaving like someone who believes in our democratic republic.

@Isa Conner If you can't see through the media's BS, then you are what's troubling our nation. The media's job is to report what they see and hear, without injecting their narratives upon the public. Responsible & credible journalists don't make themselves the story.
The fact that you're characterizing our POTUS as being incompetitent only proves my point. You're only believing what Faux Spews and Tucker Carlson spew. FYI, I just saw where Russia is using Tuckin's BS for their own propaganda to illustrate what a divisive and weak nation we are.
