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 cornered but the lives are worn.How can one little street swallow so many lives?proudnothing's free longing forused to bestillings hard hard to seefragile lives shattered dreamsJimmy had a chance,well she really didStill she dropped out and had a couple of kidsMarcel isn't home cause he's got no jobJust plays guitar and smokes a lot of potChickaman in suicideBrandon OD'd and diedWhat the hell is going on?Cruelest dream reality!Chances grow,nothing's free Free,longing for,used to be, still in time,hard to see,fragile lines,shattered dreams.
