The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring
When we were young,
the future was so bright, woho
The old neighborhood was so alive, woho
And every kid
on the whole damn street, woho
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's
cracked and torn, woho [Intro] (x4)
The kids are grown up A#m A#m
but their lives are worn F# F#
How can one little street C# C#
Swallow so many lives G# G#
Chances thrown - Nothing's free [Chorus]
Longing for - What used to be
Still it's hard - Hard to see [Intro]
Fragile lives - Shattered dreams (x2)
Jamie had a chance, well, she really did
Instead she dropped out
and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home
cause he's got no job, woho
Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide, woho
Brandon OD'd and died [Chorus]
What the hell is going on [Intro] [Chorus]
Cruelest dream, reali… [Outro] (A#m x4)
