When we were young, the future was so bright, whoa
The old neighborhood was so alive, whoa
And every kid on the whole damn street, whoa
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now, the neighborhood′s cracked and torn, whoa
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn, whoa
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
Jamie had a chance, well, she really did, whoa
Instead, she dropped out and had a couple of kids, whoa
Mark still lives at home ′cause he′s got no job, whoa
He just plays guitar and smokes a lotta pot
Jay committed suicide, whoa
Brandon od′d and died, whoa
What the hell is going 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
Go!
Chances thrown, nothing′s free
Longing for what used to be
Still, it′s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trip I couldn′t get off
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
And overhead of the aqua blue
Fall to your knees, bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time can′t capture
On film or between the sheets
I always fall from your window
To the pitch black streets
And with the black banners raised
As the crooked smiles fade
Former heroes who quit too late
And just wanna fill up the trophy case again
And in the end, I′d do it all again
I think you′re my best friend
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
I′m yours
When it rains, it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
I′m not passive but aggressive
Take note, it′s not impressive
Empty your sadness like you′re dumping your purse
On the bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse
And it′s our time now
If you want it to be
Maul the wall like the carnival bears set free
And your love is anemic, and I can′t believe
That you couldn′t see it coming for me
And I still feel it rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit too thin
All those people in those old photographs I′ve seen are dead
And in the end, I′d do it all again
I think you′re my best friend
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
I′m yours
When it rains, it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
Oh, I′m so tired I just wanna sit around
And gaze at my shoes
Yeah
And let your dirty sadness fill me up
Just like a balloon
And in the end, I′d do it all again
I think you′re my best friend
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
And I′m yours
When it rains, it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don′t you know that the kids aren′t all, kids aren′t alright
