“I always thought the only alien in this high school was me.” – StokelyAliens took over the Herrington High, literally. Creatures from another planet with insatiable thirst for water possesses the teachers and staff of the ill-fated school. A group of unlikely students however bonded to put a stop on them. This was made at the height of teen slasher flicks in the ‘90’s. Director Robert Rodrguez tries a different route of the alien kind. The Offspring sung one of the songs in the film's soundtrack, The Kids Aren't Alright. Aptly timely.
THE KIDS AREN’T ALRIGHT
sung by: The Offspring
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big in every 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
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruellest dream - reality
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
