When we were young the future was so bright
Woah-oh!
The old neighborhood was so alive
Woah-oh!
And every kid on the whole d___ street
Woah-oh!
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Woah-oh!
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
Woah-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
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Woah-oh!
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Woah-oh!
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Woah-oh!
Brandon OD'd and died
Woah-oh!
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

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
