	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
