When we were young the future was so bright |
|
(Whao) |
|
The old neighborhood was so alive |
|
(Whao) |
|
And every kid on the whole damn street |
|
(Whao) |
|
Was gonna make it big and not be beat |
|
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn |
|
(Whao) |
|
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn |
|
(Whao) |
|
How can one little street |
|
Swallow so many lives? |
|
Chances thrown |
|
Nothing's free |
|
Longin' for what used to be |
|
Still it's hard |
|
Hard to see |
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, yo |
|
Jamie had a chance, well she really did |
|
(Whao) |
|
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids |
|
(Whao) |
|
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job |
|
(Whao) |
|
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot |
|
Jay committed suicide |
|
(Whao) |
|
Brandon OD'd and died |
|
(Whao) |
|
What the hell is going on? |
|
The cruelest dream, reality |
|
Chances thrown |
|
Nothing's free |
|
Longin' for what used to be |
|
Still it's hard |
|
Hard to see |
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, yo |
|
Chances thrown |
|
Nothing's free |
|
Longin' for what used to be |
|
Still it's hard |
|
Hard to see |
|
Fragile lives, shattered dreams |
