Karaoké The Kids Aren't Alright The Offspring

When we were young the future was so bright

The old neighborhood was so alive

And every kid on the whole damn street

Was gonna make it big in every beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

The kids are grown up but their lives are worn

How can one little street swallow so many lives?

Chances thrown nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard hard to see

Fragile lives shattered dreams

Go

Jamie had a chance well she really did

Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids

Mark still lives at home 'cos he's got no job

Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide

Brandon OD'd and died

What the hell is going on?

The cruelest dream reality

Chances thrown nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard hard 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
