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