Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright Lyrics
When we were young, the future was so bright, whoaThe old neighborhood was so alive, whoaAnd every kid on the whole damn street, whoaWas gonna make it big and not be beatNow, the neighborhoods cracked and torn, whoaThe kids are grown up, but their lives are worn, whoaHow can one little streetSwallow so many livesChances thrown, nothings freeLonging for what used to beStill, its hard, hard to seeFragile lives, shattered dreamsJamie had a chance, well, she really did, whoaInstead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids, whoaMark still lives at home cause hes got no job, whoaHe just plays guitar and smokes a lotta potJay committed suicide, whoaBrandon odd and died, whoaWhat the hell is going onThe cruelest dream, realityChances thrown, nothings freeLonging for what used to beStill, its hard, hard to seeFragile lives, shattered dreamsGo!Chances thrown, nothings freeLonging for what used to beStill, its hard, hard to seeFragile lives, shattered dreams
