The Record Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

Well I'm looking busted
Working for nothing
Who can be trusted
Oh I've been struggling
When the rent keep doubling
Cards keep shuffling
You want something
Gotta go out and get it baby

I'm tired of talking
Sitting and watching
Feels like I'm walking
On the brink of something

I think of myself as an honest man
The kind that never could deny
When I gotta keep going baby
I gotta keep moving on

Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Whoa oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen

I slept through the landing
Tossing and fighting
I opened my eyes and
Oh it was inspiring

I think of myself as an honest man
The kind that never could deny
When I gotta keep going baby
I gotta keep moving on
When I gotta keep going baby
I got to keep moving on, yeah

Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Whoa oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen

I've got to keep going baby
I got to keep moving on
I got to keep going baby
I got to keep moving on woo

Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
That's right!

Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet (oh)
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet

Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen

Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen (gon' do, do, do, do, baby)




Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen

Overall Meaning

The Record Company's "Make It Happen" is an upbeat, energetic song that calls on listeners to take action and pursue their dreams regardless of the obstacles they face. The lyrics open with the singer feeling down and out, working hard but not making progress, feeling like they're stuck in a rut. The repeated phrase, "Gotta make it happen," serves as their inspirational rally cry, urging them to keep pushing forward to achieve their goals.


As the song continues, we see the singer's attitude shift from one of defeat to one of determination. They're tired of talking about change and want to see results. The line "Let's make this happen" is repeated several times in the chorus, emphasizing the importance of taking action and making things happen, rather than waiting for them to happen on their own. The song ends with a call to live without regret and to keep striving for success.


Ultimately, "Make It Happen" is a song about perseverance and the power of positive thinking. It's a reminder that success is within reach, even when things seem tough, as long as we're willing to put in the work to make it happen.

Sick and tired of X Factor wannabes making it just for a quick buck and bands like this get sidelined. Real music, real talent, real attitude! Brilliant.

Scoots Inn Austin, Tx talked with the bass player after. They may move to Austin where people appreciate their music.
