Take Our Chances
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're the generation of the silver spoon
No one can create but we can still consume
Now we're all just suits for the next ballroom
We're your quarterly report
Secure a guaranteed result
Is passion just a last resort?
But it don't even matter now
'Cause the time has come
Welcome to the world it'll let you down
The time has come
For you to live it up, let it go, show them what you're made of
And take our chances
Getting involved
Take our chances
We've got something that you can't refuse
A fifty-foot monkey on the evening news
So pull up your chair and kick off your shoes
A new tech boom spot in the RIAA
Got the kids downloading and refusing to pay
'Cause they don't like the music that the radio plays
But it don't even matter now
'Cause the time has come
Welcome to the world it'll let you down
The time has come (said ooh)
For you to live it up, let it go, show them what you're made of
And take our chances
Getting involved
Take our chances
Take our chances
Take our chances
The USA's got freedom of choice
So call up your congressmen, abuse your voice
'Cause everybody's bashing on the falling boys
So we'll save democracy with war machines
'Cause you can't ignore it in the name of peace
And the rest of our money goes to New Orleans
But it don't even matter now
No it don't even matter now
No it don't even matter now
'Cause the time has come
Welcome to the world, has let you down?
The time has come (said ooh)
For you to live it up, let it go, show them what you're made of
And take our chances
Getting involved
We'll take our chances
And we'll take our chances
And we'll take our chances
And we'll take our chances
Getting involved
Get involved,
And we'll take our chances
And we'll take our chances
And we'll take our chances
Getting involved
