0:39When we were young the future was so bright
0:41(Whao)
0:41The old neighborhood was so alive
0:43(Whao)
0:44And every kid on the whole damn street
0:46(Whao)
0:46Was gonna make it big and not be beat
0:49Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
0:50(Whao)
0:51The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
0:53(Whao)
0:53How can one little street
0:56Swallow so many lives
0:57Chances thrown
1:00Nothing's free
1:02Longin' for what used to be
1:07Still it's hard
1:09Hard to see
1:12Fragile lives shattered dreams yo
1:37Jamie had a chance well she really did
1:38(Whao)
1:39Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
1:41(Whao)
1:41Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
1:43(Whao)
1:44He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
1:46Jay committed suicide
1:48(Whao)
1:49Brandon OD'd and died
1:51(Whao)
1:51What the hell is going on
1:53The cruelest dream reality
1:55Chances thrown
1:57Nothing's free
2:00Longin' for what used to be
2:05Still it's hard
2:07Hard to see
2:10Fragile lives shattered dreams yo
2:34Chances thrown
2:36Nothing's free
2:38Longin' for what used to be
2:43Still it's hard
2:46Hard to see
2:48Fragile lives shattered dreams
