The Kids Aren't Alright (BBC Radio 1 Session) - The Offspring

When we were young, the future was so bright, whoa

The old 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 neighborhoods cracked and torn, whoa

The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn, whoa

How can one little street

Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown, nothings free

Longing for what used to be

Still, it's hard, hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well, she really did, whoa

Instead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids, whoa

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job, whoa

He just plays guitar and smokes a lotta pot

Jay committed suicide, whoa

Brandon odd did and died, whoa

What the hell is going on

The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown, nothings free

Longing for what used to be

Still, it's hard, hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Go!

Chances thrown, nothings free

Longing for what used to be

Still, it's hard, hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams
