BWhen we were young the future was so bright,
FisThe old neighborhood was so alive,
CisAnd every kid on the whole damn street,
GisWas gonna make it big and not be beat.

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn,
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn,
How can one little street,
Swallow so many lives.

®: BChances thrown,
FisNothing's free,
CisLonging for Giswhat used to be,
BStill it's hard,
FisHard to see,
CisFragile lives, Gisshattered 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 committed suicide,
Brandon OD'd and died,
What the hell is going on,
The cruelest dream, reality.
