    Story Behind the Song
    It's a story of the political opinions that can get lost when you move from the heart of a city to a suburb.

    Lyrics
    The night they tore all the porno theatres down
    I was hiding out in Brooklyn
    All the suits and ties, Wall Street to Chinatown
    Were forced to go to book bins
    And they all bought dirty books

    Today they said, “There’s this gosh darn deficit
    We don’t want to hurt our children.
    Lose the arts, have education pay for it.”
    The only steps they’ve ever taken
    Still the kids are gonna pay

    Take a chance with me is all they ever say
    Take a chance with me and I can make this go away
    Take a chance with me and this too shall pass
    But they only cover their own ass

    The other day I heard an audience member say
    On a talk show, “Something’s wrong here.”
    I guess he must have belonged to the NRA
    He said guns will rid us of fear
    As for me I’m fucking scared

    Just last week I saw on the evening news
    There’s another deadly illness
    Can you afford all the drugs you need to use
    It’s a billion-dollar business
    I’m just too poor to get sick

    Take a chance with me is all they ever say
    Take a chance with me and I can make this go away
    Take a chance with me and this too shall pass
    But they only cover their own ass

    There was a guy talking just a while back
    On how dependent folks on drugs get
    He said that pot leads to cocaine, speed, and crack
    As he dragged another cigarette
    Pour the guy another beer

    Last week some lady talked about the youth today
    Generation Xpert TV
    She said all signs of hope have gone away
    And no one could disagree
    But the world gave up on us

    Take a chance with me is all they ever say
    Take a chance with me and I can make this go away
    Take a chance with me and this too shall pass
    But they only cover their own ass
