The Kids Aren’t Alright (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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 bib and not be beat

now the neighborhood is cracked and torn
the kids are grown up but their lifes are worn
how can one little street
swallow so many lifes?

chances thrown, nothing`s free
longing for what used to be
still it`s hard, hard to see
fragile lifes, shattered dreams

jamie had a chance, well she really did
instead she dropped down and had a couple of kids
mark still lives at homr cause he`s got no job
he just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

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 jetwash
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
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’ll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty I’ll be fine
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 my bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse

And it’s our time now if you want to to be
More the war like the carnival bears set free
And your love is anemic and I can’t believe
That you couldn’t see it coming from me
And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit too thin
All those people I see
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’ll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty I’ll be fine
Don’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright

And sometimes I just want to 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
I’ll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty I’ll be fine
Don’t you know that the kids
Aren’t all, kids aren’t alright
