The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was tryin' to make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood is cracked and torn
The kids are grownup but their lives are worn
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
Chorus:
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 dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay commited suicide
Brandon O.D.'d and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream reality
Chorus 2x
