The Kids Aren't Alright |
When we were young the future was so bright |
The old neighborhood was so alive |
And every kid on the whole damn street |
Was gonna make it big and not be beat |
Now the neighborhood’s cracked and torn |
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn |
How can one little street |
Swallow so many lives? |
Chances thrown |
Nothing’s free |
Longing for |
What used to be |
Still it’s hard |
Hard to see |
Fragile lives |
Shattered dreams |
Go! |
Jamie had a chance, well she really did |
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids |
Mark still lives at home 'cause he’s got no job |
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot |
Jay committed suicide |
Brandon OD’d and died |
What the hell is going on? |
The cruelest dream, reality |
Chances thrown |
Nothing’s free |
Longing for |
What used to be |
Still it’s hard |
Hard to see |
Fragile lives |
Shattered dreams |
Go go go! |
Chances thrown |
Nothing’s free |
Longing for |
What used to be |
Still it’s hard |
Hard to see |
Fragile lives |
Shattered dreams |
Yeah! |
