It has been years since this was asked, but I was just listening to the song and it stood out to me in lyrics I looked up as well. But on listening closely the lyric seems to be "take it if we get", which fits with simple values. I think it's because it's supposed to rhyme with "damn" that this error is made. Either that or I am listening into it incorrectly and its really just like the last answer.

Another lyric like that is "Unhappiness, where's when I was young" (how it's shown on lyrics websites), which seems to me to need to be whereAS. Unhappiness... (existing adult situation), whereas when I was young [blah blah].
