when we were young our futures
were so bright
the old neighborhood was so
alive life
and every kid of the whole
damn street
was gonna make it big and
not be beat
now the neighborhood is
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
GO
Jannie had a chance, well
she really did
instead she dropped out and
had a couple of kids
mark still lives at home
cuz he's got no job
he just plays guitar and
smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon ODed and died
What the hell is goin on
The cruelest dream reality
Chances thrown
nothing's free
longing for what used to be
still it's hard
hard to see
fragile lives
shattered dreams
Chances thrown
