The kids aren't alright Lyrics
The Offspring
The kids aren't alright Songtext:
When we were young the future was so bright
Woho!
The old neighborhood was so alive
Woho!
And every kid on the whole damn street
Woho!
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Woho!
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
Woho!
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
Go!
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Woho!
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of
kids
Woho!
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
Woho!
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Woho!
Brandon OD'd and died
Woho!
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
Go!
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
When we were young the future was so bright
Woho!
The old neighborhood was so alive
Woho!
And every kid on the whole damn street
Woho!
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Woho!
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
Woho!
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
Go!
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Woho!
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of
kids
Woho!
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
Woho!
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Woho!
Brandon OD'd and died
Woho!
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
Go!
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
