[VERSE 1]
When the golden child does something you can't approve
When the golden child f**s up, don't know what to do
Always had it easy, but nothing is easy
You must've known that we would hit this rough patch
When the golden child does something you won't approve
You hang your head in shame like you have something to lose
Hide from from the world what we all see is the truth
Disbelieve and say “There must be something wrong with you!”
[Chorus]
When the golden child
When the golden child
When the golden child goes wild
[VERSE 2]
When the golden child comes home to a dark place
The one that used to bring the light now brings disgrace
When the golden child is at a lose for words
You scream and yell like that'll help you to be heard
[Chorus]
When the golden child
When the golden child
When the golden child goes wild
[VERSE 3]
When the golden child decides to live his truth (Live his truth, live his truth)
You question it and everything he ever do (Ever do, ever do)
When the golden child tells you what you always feared
Ears get covered, eyes water, rage sets in, black outs begin
When the golden child has nothing left to give
He sits weak in the corner hoping for something to give
When the golden child realizes this is the end
He picks himself up, forges ahead and finds love within, ya!
[Chorus] X2
When the golden child
When the golden child
When the golden child goes wild
[VERSE 4]
When the golden child stops giving a sh**
He will find self love and all it brings with it
When the golden embarks on the world
He will see that he is accepted just being him
[Chorus] X2
When the golden child
When the golden child
When the golden child goes wild
