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 - so raise your hands

(Chorus)
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 screaming in my ear about who I'm supposed to be,
"Get a three-piece Wall Street smile, and son you'll look justlike me"
I said "Hey, man, there's something 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 standing tall, ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

(Chorus x2)

We are the youth gone wild
