The Kids Aren't Alright Lyrics

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for we used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thro-o-own
Nothing's free
Longing fo-o-or we used to be
Still it's ha-a-ard
Hard to see
Fragile li-i-ives, shattered dreams

Chances thro-o-own
Nothing's free
Longing fo-o-or we used to be
Still it's ha-a-ard
Hard to see
Fragile li-i-ives, shattered dreams
