When we were young, the future was so bright
>Woah-oh!
The old neighborhood was so alive
>Woah-oh!
And every kid on the whole damn street
>Woah-oh!
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
>Woah-oh!
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
>Woah-oh!
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
