The Kids Aren't Alright

Toen wij jong waren was de toekomst zo rooskleurig
De oude buurt was zo levendig
En elk kind op die vervloekte straat
Ging het maken en liet zich niet verslaan

Nu is de buurt gebarsten en gescheurd
De kinderen groeiden op
maar hun levens waren reeds geleefd
Hoe kan 1 kleine straat
Zoveel levens opslokken

Kansen vergooid
Niets is vrij
Verlangen naar wat is geweest
Toch is het hard
Hard om te zien
Gebroken levens, stuk geslagen dromen

Jamie had een kans, nou, dat was echt zo
In plaats daarvan stopte ze met school
en kreeg ze enkele kinderen
Mark woont nog altijd thuis omdat hij geen werk heeft
Hij speelt alleen gitaar en rookt veel marihuana

Jay heeft zelfmoord gepleegd
Brandon had een overdosis drugs en stierf
Wat is er aan de hand
De wreedste droom, werkelijkheid

Kansen vergooid
Niets is vrij
Verlangen naar wat is geweest
Toch is het hard
Hard om te zien
Gebroken levens, stuk geslagen dromen

Kansen vergooid
Niets is vrij
Verlangen naar wat is geweest
Toch is het hard
Hard om te zien
Gebroken levens, stuk geslagen dromen

The kids aren't alright

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was 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

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
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

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

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