"The Kids Aren't Allright"
by the Offspring
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, but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used-to-be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home, 'cuz he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
The cruelest dream: reality
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used-to-be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
