The Rock Chap - Whatever It Takes

A young girl with high hopes
Just a simple Southern 'gal
She changed the way she spoke
Hopped in the car and drove to Tinsel Town

She quickly found out that the way that she looked
Got her away with murder, yes she's off the hook
She's selling herself through fiction and fables
Bending the truth to the lost and unstable

Headlines and bloodshot eyes
Private jets and pink Corvettes
Living on borrowed time, protein shakes and cigarettes
Woah
In Hollywood they drift and fade
But she said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"

Whatever it takes

She said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"

Beggars and hangers on
Tried so hard to get what they could
Those penthouse pauper chumps
Did all they could to keep it off the books

She was the queen of the hive, yeah the killer bee
She craved attention and fame and flash photography
Dripping with money she flaunted the cash
Never tried to conceal it 'cos the girl had too much flash

Headlines and bloodshot eyes
Private jets and pink Corvettes
Living on borrowed time, protein shakes and cigarettes
Woah
In Hollywood they drift and fade
But she said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"

Whatever it takes

She said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Life's different for her than it is for you and me
She had something you can't teach and that brought opportunities
You can say it's unjust and demonize it if you must
But at the end of the day it's just a function of lust
But if you had it I guarantee that you'd use it
Power comes to the few and I just know you'd abuse it
So try to stay cool (yeah!)
And try to diffuse it
'Cos you and I knew that one day she would lose it

Now back at the ranch
Her fortune's faded
She under the knife and she's become what she hated
She can run (run!) run (run!) and hope it'll change
But she can't hide
'Cos the memory remains

Headlines and bloodshot eyes
Private jets and pink Corvettes
Living on borrowed time, protein shakes and cigarettes
Woah
In Hollywood they drift and fade
But she said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"

Whatever it takes

She said "I'll make it baby, I will get my way, whatever it takes"
