OFFSPRING - The Kids Aren't Alright lyrics

rate me

When we were young the future was so bright (whoa)

the whole 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 home

hard to see

fragile lives

shattered dreams

GO!!

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

Just plays guitar, smokes a lot of pot

Jay commited suicide

Brandon OD'd and died

What the hell is going on?

Cruellest dream, reality

Chorus(x2)
