The Kids Arent Alright Lyrics - Americana - Offspring

When we were young the future was so bright (whoa) 

the old neighborhood was so alive (whoa) 

and every kid on the whole damn street (whoa) 

was gonna make it big and not be beat. 

now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa) 

the kids are grown up but their lives are worn(whoa) 

how can one little street 

swallow so many lives? 

Chances blown 

nothing's free 

longing for 

what used to be 

still it's hard 

hard to see 

fragile lives 

shattered dreams 

GO!! 

Janie had a chance, well she really did (whoa) 

Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa) 

Munsen's at home cause he's got no job (whoa) 

Just plays guitar, smokes a lot of pot (whoa) 

She commited suicide (whoa) 

Brandy OD'd and died (whoa)

What the hell is going on? 

Cruellest dream, reality 

Chances blown 

nothing's free 

longing for 

what used to be 

still it's hard 

hard to see 

fragile lives 

shattered dreams 

GO!! 

Chances blown 

nothing's free 

longing for 

what used to be 

still it's hard 

hard to see 

fragile lives 

shattered dreams
