When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole [bad word] street
was gonna make it big in every 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?

 [bad word] 
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for,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, smokes a lot of pot

 [bad word] suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the [bad word] is going on?
 [bad word] dream, reality

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for,used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
