When we were young our future was so bright (whoa, oh!)
|
|
The old neighborhood was so alive (whoa, oh!)
|
|
And every kid on the whole damn street (whoa, oh!)
|
|
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
|
|
|
|
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa, oh!)
|
|
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (whoa, 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
|
|
(Whoa!)
|
|
|
|
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (whoa, oh!)
|
|
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa, oh!)
|
|
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job (whoa, oh!)
|
|
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
|
|
|
|
Jay committed suicide (whoa, oh!)
|
|
Brandon OD'd and died (whoa, 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
|
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
|
|
|
|
Chances thrown, nothing's free
|
|
Longing for used to be
|
|
Still it's hard, hard to see
|
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
|
