Offspring - The Kid's Aren't Alright

                               When we were young the future was so bright
                                   The old neighbourhood was so alive
                                 And every kid on the whole damn street
                                 Was gonna make it big and not be beat
                                Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
                               The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
                                       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
                                Instead she got on speed and lost her kids
                               Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
                                He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
                                        Jay committed suicide
                                        Brandon od'd and died
                                       What the hell is going on
                                      The cruellest dream, reality
