Make use of handclaps and snaps

LyricsShow lyrics

Dark Cove (LWRG) (shadow)

Spoken: It's 10pm, do you know where your children are?

Some kids like to pretend
Some kids don’t have any friends
Some kids roam the night, wasted youth, wasted life
Stuck on a street with a dead end

Some kids play silly games
Some kids are those led astray
Some kids will never know more than a broken home
Never ever going to graduate

CHORUS:
The kids aren’t all right, the kids aren’t okay
The kids aren’t all right, all right, okay

Some kids worry about the prom
Some kids pull the fire alarm
Some kids get hand-me-downs, they’ll never leave this town
Some kids learn how to build a bomb

Some kids grow up too fast
Some kids never get to class
There’s nowhere to go in a town called Dark Cove
Some kids just aren’t meant to last

Because the kids aren’t all right, the kids aren’t okay
I said the kids aren’t all right, all right, okay

Spoken (by different voices):
*Did you see Tiffany? She got braces!
Can you go be a bitch somewhere else?
What do you mean, he’s your boyfriend?
Say hello to your son, Tristan! Hi… daddy
You never say what you mean to say.
But I thought he died in a motorcycle accident after homecoming.
He’s dating Brianna. Why would he send you that?
Me and the crew are going to go down to Scooby’s for some milkshakes. You want to come along?
Oh my god, Brian was wearing these lame-ass shades.
I don’t know how to do this anymore.
Everyone knows that you’re ten times the tramp than I ever was.
Just try it! All the cool kids are doing it.
Oh my god, bitch, get your own boyfriend!*

CHALLENGE: SpoilerWe got claps in the instrumental verse, between the voices. Regarding Niv's high school project, he found his old notebook with character sheets but we let the voice actors make up their own lines with the prompt "Something an actor would say in a teen drama". We might have a VHS or two in the attic but we had neither the time nor the inclination to look for it, plus we have no VCR. Maybe some day! I am also encouraging him to revive DC as a musical!

Hearing the backstory to the title, this tickled my fancy quite a bit. Not a theme song, exactly, but it HAS to be used in the trailer. I’m just saying! This chorus stuck with me long after listening.
