-
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:
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, wow
