The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young
The future was so bright (woah)
The old neighborhood
Was so alive (woah)

And every kid on
The whole damn street (woah)
Was gonna make it big
And not be beat 

Now, the neighborhood's
Cracked and torn (woah)
The kids are grown up
But their lives are worn (woah)

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 (woah)
Instead, she dropped out
And had a couple of kids (woah)

Mark still lives at home
'Cause he's got no job (woah)
He just plays guitar
And smokes a lotta pot 

Jay committed suicide (woah)
Brandon OD'd and died (woah)
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

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be

Still, it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
