The Kids Aren't Alright Lyrics

The song The Kids Aren't Alright is performed by The Offspring in the album named Americana in the year 1998 .



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?

Chorus:
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

Chorus x2
