So true.
This my version of The Kid's Aren't Alright 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 up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Elise had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids. . . with David
I still live at home cause I got no job
I just play bass and smoke a lot of pot
Toni committed suicide after
Jordan OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus x2]
That's basically the truth. You'll see.
