Youth Gone Wild lyrics

Since I was born, they couldn't hold me down.

Another misfit kid, another burned-out town.

I never played by the rules and I never really cared.

My nasty reputation takes me everywhere.

Well, I look and see it's not only me.

So many others have stood where I stand.

We are the young, (hey!) so raise your hands.

They call us problem child,

we spend our lives on trial,

we walk an endless mile,

we are the youth gone wild.

We stand and we won't fall,

we're one and one for all.

The writing's on the wall.

We are the youth gone wild!

Boss screamin' in my ear

about who I'm supposed to be:

"Get a three-piece Wall Street smile

and, son, you'll look just like me."

I said, "Hey, man,

there's something that you oughta know.

Well, I tell ya, Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

Well, I look and see it's not only me.

We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt.

We are the young, (hey!) so shout it out.

They call us problem child,

we spend our lives on trial,

we walk an endless mile,

we are the youth gone wild.

We stand and we won't fall,

we're one and one for all.

The writing's on the wall.

We are the youth gone wild!

Well, lemme hear ya, wild!

They call us problem child,

we spend our lives on trial,

we walk an endless mile,

we are the youth gone wild.

We stand and we won't fall,

we're one and one for all.

The writing's on the wall.

We are the youth gone wild!

We are the youth gone wild!

We are the youth gone wild!

We are the youth gone wild!

We are the youth gone wild!
