I love this song. Love ii, and I will love you...
I forgot how much I used to love this song...
the I heard it on KROQ for the first time in a few months..
and my love for it was renewed....
When we were young our future was so bright (whoa, oh!) The old neighborhood was so alive (whoa, oh!) And every kid on the whole damn street (whoa, oh!) Was gonna make it big and not be beat Now our neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa, oh!) The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (whoa, oh!) 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 (Whoa!) Jamie had a chance, well she really did (whoa, oh!) Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa, oh!) Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job (whoa, oh!) He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot Jay committed suicide (whoa, oh!) Brandon OD'd and died (whoa, oh!) What the hell is going on The cruelest 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
...this song kinda gives you a reality check so that you
dont get caught up in wahts on TV with all of the
glitz and the glamourous lives of those more fortunate.
it shows what really happens in life, and in high school.
wow.. its weird to think that all of us will be entering a world
much like in this song.
