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 what used to be
|
Still it's hard
|
Hard to see
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
|
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
|
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
|
Mark still lives at home
|
Cause he's got no job
|
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
|
Jay committed suicide
|
Brandon OD'd and fuckin died
|
What the hell is going on
|
The cruelest dream, reality
|
