(Whao)
Nothing's free
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, yo
Still it's hard
Hard to see
(Whao)
Swallow so many lives?
Still it's hard
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
(Whao)
(Whao)
Chances thrown
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Chances thrown
What the hell is going on?
And every kid on the whole damn street
(Whao)
Songwriter: Brian Holland
When we were young the future was so bright
Jay committed suicide
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Longin' for what used to be
(Whao)
(Whao)
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
(Whao)
(Whao)
Fragile lives, shattered dreams, yo
Hard to see
Hard to see
Brandon OD'd and died
Longin' for what used to be
Longin' for what used to be
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Nothing's free
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Still it's hard
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
The cruelest dream, reality
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
(Whao)
The old neighborhood was so alive
