Black bomber jackets with gang colors Showing on my back The boys they're out tonight walking Prowlin' in a pack The girls are hangin' 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 Dancin' 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 Gettin' their kicks is their youthful right Chicks so young lookin' better all the time Teaching smooth talkin' boys to sing in rhyme Do you get what I said, hey boys Try...to keep time Goin' up and out in the summer Educated at a government school Leaving home just as soon as he can Hangin' out, gettin' seen, gettin' cool There ain't no jobs for money So he's learnin' 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 Gettin' their kicks is their youthful right Chicks so young lookin' better all the time Teaching smooth talkin' 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
