Let It Go

(albüm: Assault & Battery - 1981)

Black bomber jackets with gang colors
Showing on my back
The boys, they're out tonight walking
Prowling in a pack
The girls are hanging loose
In a path not far away
The teams they pick are evenly matched
For the game they're about to play

Who knows, who cares
Are you game or are you scared
To take a chance and let it go
Take a chance, let it go
Let it go, let it go

Colored light flashed, silver ball crashed
A face was full of pain
Dancing on the toes for an unseen foe
For the chance to play again
She tried so hard not to lose her innocence
In the back seat of a car
But he's too drunk to be gentle
And she's too drunk to care

Who knows, who cares
Are you game or are you scared
To take a chance and let it go
Take one chance, let it go

And the kids still cruise the summer nights
Getting their kicks is their youthful right
Chicks so young looking better all the time
Teaching smooth talking boys to sing in rhyme
Do you get what I said, hey boys
Try to keep time

Going up and out in the summer
Educated at a government school
Leaving home just as soon as he can
Hanging out, getting seen, getting cool
There ain't no jobs for money
So he's learning how to steal
The bright beam lights in the city
Make things seem strangely unreal

Who knows, who cares
Are you game or are you scared
To take a chance and let it go
Take a chance, let it go

And the kids still cruise the summer nights
Getting their kicks is their youthful right
Chicks so young looking better all the time
Teaching smooth talking boys to sing in rhyme
Sing in rhyme

Who knows, who cares
Are you game or are you scared
To take a chance and let it go
Take a chance, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, you got to let it go
Let it go
