YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

i think of they talk about their own experience in the music industry

At :08 its board room not ballroom, at least i'm pretty sure. I love this song too. Thanks for posting it. I spent way too long looking for it.

Lovin' this song. I like how they wrote a political song, but it's not as harsh as, say, Green Day's American Idiot, although I love that song as well.

Hanson rocks.

@x3sucker4akissx3 - This song has absolutely nothing to do with Obama. It's from before most people even knew who he was, and Taylor and Zac are both Republicans who wanted McCain/Palin to win (there's video). Isaac is a registered independent who (in that same video) spoke about how it's a good step for Obama to be elected, and mollified his brothers with something about how Palin could win in 2012.

@hnsnrachel What is that video? I didn't picture them as republicans.

As soon as i heard 'fifty foot monkey' i cracked up and had to turn the song off.

GREAT SONG!!!!

Luv the part "Got the kids downloading and refusing to play 'cause they don't like the music that the radio plays..." SO TRUE. (The radio plays a bunch of bs) Hanson needs to get some radio play :)

im not a fan of what the radio plays. but im sure of they were playing hanson id enjoy it a bit more haha

fanciedancer13 1 year ago

@fanciedancer13 i agree with u if they played more hanson id b happy. id also b happy if they played michael jackson, david cook, carrie underwood, garth brooks, reba mcentire, toby keith, the beatles, jackson 5/ jacksons, bon jovi, john cena, celine dion, and jesse mccartney all on the same radio station. i think that would b cool b/c i love all those artists.

this has squat to do with obama, but feel free to argue about it!

molkoshake69 1 year ago

@molkoshake69 I agree!!! I wanna know why people are saying they are talking about Obama...for one thing, this song was released BEFORE Obama was elected...it was on the 2007 members kit...so you can give that one a rest...so obviously the line about "We'll save decomcracy with war machines" is about BUSH!!! But this song is about what is wrong with society as a whole, democrats, republicans, independents, old, young, rich, poor, it doesn't matter!

i think...

Jojanneke83 2 years ago

man they could make things a lot easier for us by keeping it all the same, but then again where's the fun in that lol

thanks for clearing things up!:)

fritolay1994 2 years ago

the USA isn't a democracy - it's supposed to be a constitutional republic built upon the foundation of principles we can all agree upon, and rights that can't be voted out by the majority, which is what democracy is - rule of the majority - our nation isn't majority rule, it's natural law/natural rights rule! :O)

x3sucker4akissx3 2 years ago

wtf u r talking !!!! What it is the problem with Obama being the president of USA...they president is it not the problem, it is the fucking way of leaving that United States want to have, starting by many of it citizens.....The world a best place to live it is without no more Amer can egoism and ambition......WAKE UP...or just do what they told you to do...

Rauly84 2 years ago

This comment has received too many negative votes show

Constitutional..if we lived by the constitution, we wouldn't have half the problems we do. But it's Obama's job to knock off our rights one by one. Cool. I love being able to kill our unborn children, I love not being able to have a gun to defend myself. I love not having the freedom of speech, I love that we can kill someone just because they killed someone. Killing is right, right?. Go Obama. Let's take our chances..on Obama fukin up our lives. Yay. No,

x3sucker4akissx3 2 years ago

Hanson isn't talking about Obamaby taking chances...They're talking about taking chances to do what you can do in our shitty times. Cuz it don't even matter now..the time has come, the world will let you down..'So we'll save democracy(Obama) WITH WAR MACHINES. Obama=war. It's only gonna get worse, ppl.

x3sucker4akissx3 2 years ago

i couldnt agree with anyone more. seriously i cried when he was elected. im terrified for what going to happen next.

tay12ash 2 years ago

Please tell me one thing positive that Obama has done for us. I've been asking that since before he was elected. No one could tell me..they could only respond in a zombie slur of 'hope, change' But yet. They couldn't tell me the change he was planning..but they all said to give him time, he was just elected! But..it's been awhile now, right? What has he done..? Cuz maybe I missed it..

x3sucker4akissx3 2 years ago

myrmyr1983 3 years ago

Ooo, sorry to bring up and old argument, but are we SURE it's not 'getting it wrong'? Because at about 4:01, Taylor says "Take Our Chances _____ (insert mystery line here", then says, "Get it wrong baby" or something... as if he's repeating what he said before... -ponders-

crystalblue904 3 years ago

Ooooh, good point. I thought getting involved sounded right all along, and then I read your comment. Not getting it wrong makes more sense... you take the chance of getting it wrong. Good call!

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 ballroom

We're your quarterly report

Secure a 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

lindsay21228 3 years ago

it is ballroom...I looked up the lyrics

lindsay21228 3 years ago

In the first part he says "we're all just suits for the next boardroom"not ball room. And are you sure it's not "getting it wrong" instead of getting invovled? This video is greatttt though! Good job! I love this song!

I think the chorus says: take our chances getting it wrong, not "involved". But I could be wrong, hmmm... which would make this a bit ironic. Killer song BTW! Go Hanson!
