[Verse 1] Since I was born they couldn't hold me down Another misfit kid, another burned-out town Never played by the rules, I never really cared My nasty reputation takes me everywhere 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 the one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild
[Verse 2] Boss screaming in my ear about who I'm supposed to be Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row." 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] [Outro] Whoa whoa whoa We are the youth gone wild [x2] Yeah yeah yeah We are the youth gone wild Whoa whoa whoa We are the youth gone wild
