The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright

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