Song: "The Kids Aren’t Alright"

Lyrics:

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
(Go!)

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 lot of 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

[jeffhrycuna]

In my opinion one of the best guitar riffs of all time

[peterpark]

Fans in their 50's in the front row indicate how time has passed but still live their youthful years

[satsujin]

Decades later and this is still probably one of the greatest songs of all time

[NuRmaZrv]

This song is never getting old....
Since I'm 12 years old, until now 34
Every devices from walkman into the smart phone now, this song must be on in

[sgtleobella]

Last time I saw The Offspring in concert was Woodstock '99. It's nice to see they're still out there killing it.

[DIZAZZO]

This song hits you differently when you got older.

You start to remember some childhood friends that for some reason went to different paths and someday you get to know that something sad happened to, a disease, some accident or just succumbed to drugs and you get really sad, and somehow feel a little guilty thinking if you were close tho them, some things wouldn't happened, but that's life, I suppose.

[auntissie]

This almost 70-year old lady loves you guys!! Always have and introduced you to many people too!!! Keep on rockin' baby!! 💕🌷💕

[voevodineu]

These guys in their fifties and a lot of their fans at 0:49 are of the same age. Shout out to all of them guys like myself

[darkangelholz]

I adore this song. Takes me back to being 15 when I first discovered The Offspring that was over 21 years ago now and still love them

[jamesceglia]

Love this band…. Every time I hear them I feel like I’m in my 20’s again..😁😁🤟🏼

[artemisthegunslinger]

The crowd singing "woah"😭 wish I could be there.

[evix]

I can finally say this : "I was there ! " And it was amazing, even if the temperature was like 42°C, they did a great show !

[liv]

Больше 20 лет прошло уже, молодость, а песня все так же цепляет до мурашек.
Со временем великая музыка не перестаёт быть великой=)
The offspring you BEST!!!

[AlexCevallos-lobo]

Seeing 50+ year old guys performing this song as if they were 20 years old, but even better than when they were 20, is something priceless, and KIDS should learn something from this.

[ClassifiedDocz]

Love how they go as hard as ever but in the late legend stages of their careers they all look chill and calm no matter how fast they are playing

[brianjuarez]

Los conoci cuando tenia 15 años y patinaba, ahora tengo 27 años y ya no patino, pero aun me siguen gustando como cuando los conocí. Esta cancion es mi favorita. Espero algun dia vengan a México y tener el gusto y el honor de verlos en vivo 🥹🥹🥹

[spongeCrab]

This live version is so much more emotionally felt. Thank you so much The Offspring you guys really are heroes in my book. Will never forget the impact you had on us while growing up. Your music truly influenced us all. 2022 still the greatest ever.

[yumemi]

It's great to see people in the audience that listened to this when it was first released.

[ViniciusSammogini]

Pura nostalgia eu era adolescente no tempo dessa música, quem viveu esse momento dá um salve

[colesmith]

The fans singing along in harmony is very cool to see.
