The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring
When we were young the future was so bright
(whoa-oa)
The old neighbourhood was so alive
(whoa-oa)
And every kid on the whole damn street
(whoa-oa)
Was gonna make it big in every beat
Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
(whoa-oa)
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
(whoa-oa)
How can one, little street,
Swallow so many lives?
Chances thrown, nothin's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
GO!
Jenny had a chance, well she really did
(whoa-oa)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
(whoa-oa)
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
(whoa-oa)
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide (whoa-oa)
Brandon OD'd and died (whoa-oa)
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Cruelest dream - reality
Chances thrown, nothin's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
GO!
Chances thrown, nothin's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
This is such an awesome song! A lot of Offspring songs have really good meanings in the lyrics. I'm a singer and I play four musical instruments and write songs. I play guitar, piano, clarinet and flute. I am a bit uncertain about the future though. I also love Gone Away, Million Miles Away, Can't Repeat, Spare Me The Details, Trust In You, Hammerhead, You're Gonna Go Far Kid, Stuff Is Messed Up, Fix You, Rise And Fall, Come Out And Play, Kristy Are You Doing Okay?, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) Self Esteem... actually I love every single one of their songs!! I'll accept any friend invite, especially from those who like The Offspring!!
