Satellite Empire & PAYNE - The Kids Aren't Alright (Ryan Exley Remix) lyrics

When we were young, the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
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 used to be
And still it's hard, it's hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[2x]

And still it's hard, yeah it's hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Shattered dreams

And still it's hard, it's hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used to be
And still it's hard, it's hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

And still it's hard, yeah it's hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Shattered dreams
