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 blown, 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 (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

Jay committed suicide (whoa)
Brandon *OD'd and died (whoa)
What the hell is going on?
Cruellest dream, reality

Chances blown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Go!

Chances blown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
