The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young, the future was so bright
 Woah-oh
 The old neighborhood was so alive
 Woah-oh
 And every kid on the whole damn street
 Woah-oh
 Was gonna make it big and not be beat
 Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
 Woah-oh
 The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
 Woah-oh
 How can one little street swallow so many lives?
 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
 Woah-oh
 Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
 Woah-oh
 Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
 Woah-oh
 He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
 Jay commited suicide
 Woah-oh
 Brandon OD'd and died
 Woah-oh
 What the hell is going on?
 The cruelest dream, reality
 Chances thrown
 Nothing's free
 Longing for, used to be
 Still it's hard, hard to see

 Chances thrown
 Nothing's free
 Longing for (what), used to be
