The Faculty movie - The Kids Aren't Alright lyrics

rate me

Song by Offspring<br /><br>

When we were young the future was so bright<br>

The old neighborhood was so alive<br>

And every kid on the whole damn street<br>

Was gonna make it big and not be beat<br>

<br>

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn<br>

The kids are grown up but their lives are worn<br>

How can one little street<br>

Swallow so many lives<br>

<br>

Chances thrown<br>

Nothing's free<br>

Longing for what used to be<br>

Still it's hard<br>

Hard to see<br>

Fragile lives, shattered dreams<br>

<br>

Jamie had a chance, well she really did<br>

Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids<br>

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job<br>

He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot<br>

<br>

Jay committed suicide<br>

Brandon OD'd and died<br>

What the hell is going on<br>

The cruelest dream, reality<br>

<br>
