Lyrics

[00:39.840] When we were young the futurewas so bright
[00:41.880] the old neighbourhood was so alive
[00:44.420] and every kid on the whole damn street
[00:46.690] was gonna make it big and not be beat
[00:49.690] now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
[00:51.910] the kids are grown up
[00:53.040] but their lives are worn
[00:54.380] how can one little street
[00:56.290] swallow so many lives
[00:58.360] chances thrown
[01:00.560] nothing's free
[01:02.380] longing for what used to be
[01:07.770] still it's hard
[01:10.140] hard to see
[01:12.490] fragile lives, shattered dreams
[01:37.630] Jamie had a chance, well she really did
[01:39.530] instead she dropped out and
[01:40.670] had a couple of kids
[01:41.600] Mark still lives at home
[01:43.320] cause he's got no job
[01:44.670] he just plays guitar and smokes a lot of plot
[01:47.400] Jay commited suicide
[01:49.180] Brandon od'd and died
[01:51.650] What the hell is going on
[01:54.370] the cruellest dream, reality
[01:56.180] chances thrown
[01:58.120] nothing's free
[02:00.460] longing for what used to be
[02:05.310] still it's hard
[02:07.690] hard to see
[02:10.200] fragile lives, shattered dreams
[02:34.290] chances thrown
[02:36.770] nothing's free
[02:39.200] longing for what used to be
[02:43.560] still it's hard
[02:46.250] hard to see
[02:53.610] fragile lives, shattered dreams
