"Take Our Chances" lyrics - HANSON

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 board room

We're your quarterly report
Say, come on 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, said ooh
For you to live it up, let it go
Show them what you're made of, yeah
And we take our chances
Getting it wrong
And we 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

The new tech boom's fighting the RIAA
Got the kids downloading and refusing to pay
'Cause they don't like the music that the radio plays

Oh, yeah
But it don't even matter now
No, 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, yeah
And we take our chances
Getting it wrong
And we take our chances
And we take our chances
And we take our chances

The USA's got freedom of choice
So call up your congressman, abuse your voice
'Cause everybody's bashing on the fighting 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 it let you down?
The time has come, ooh
For you to live it up, let it go
Show them what you're made of, oh
And we take our chances
Getting it wrong
Getting it wrong, yeah

And we take our chances
And we take our chances
And we take our chances
And we take our chances
Getting it wrong
Getting it wrong, baby

And we take our chances
And we take our chances
And we take our chances
Getting it wrong, ooh yeah

Said ooh ooh
