When we were young,
The future was so bright.
(Whoa-oh)
The old neighborhood was so alive.
(Whoa-oh)
And every kid,
On the whole damn street,
(Whoa-oh)
Was gonna make it big,
And not be beat.
(Whoa-oh)
Now the neighborhood's
Cracked and torn.
(Whoa-oh)
The kids are grown up,
But their lives are worn.
(Whoa-oh)
How can one, little street,
Swallow so many lives?

Chances thrown,
Nothing's free.
Longing for~,
What used to be~.
Still, it's hard~,
Had to see~.
Fragile lives,
Shattered dreams.
(Go!)
.......
Jenny had a chance,
Well she really did.
(Whoa-oh)
Instead, she dropped out,
And had a couple of kids.
(Whoa-oh)
Mark still lives at home,
'Cause he's got no job.
(Whoa-oh)
He just plays guitar,
And smokes a lot of pot.
(Whoa-oh)
Jay committed suicide,
(Whoa-oh)
Brandon OD'd and died.
(Whoa-oh)
What the hell is going on?
Cruelest dream, reality.

Chances thrown,
Nothing's free.
Longing for~,
What used to be~.
Still, it's hard~,
Had to see~.
Fragile lives,
Shattered dreams.
(Go!)
.......
Chances thrown~,
Nothing's free~.
Longing for~,
What used to be~.
Still, it's hard~,
Hard to see~.
Fragile lives,
Shattered dreams.
(Go!)
