Title: The Kids Aren't Alright
BY Edison
When we were young the futurewas so bright
the old neighbourhood was so alive
and every kid on the whole damn street
was gonna make it big and not be beat
now the neighbourhood'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 plot
Jay commited suicide
Brandon od'd and died
What the hell is going on
the cruellest dream, reality
chances thrown
nothing's free
longing for what used to be
still it's hard
hard to see
fragile lives, shattered dreams
chances thrown
nothing's free
longing for what used to be
still it's hard
hard to see
fragile lives, shattered dreams
