Since I was born they couldn't hold me down

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down Another misfit kidd, another burned-out town I 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

They call us problem chyld 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

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'll tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row"

I look and see it's not only me We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem chyld We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand up, we won't fall We're one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild Let me hear you wild

They call us problem chyld We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand up, we won't fall We're one and one for all The writing's on the wall

We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild Yeah yeah yeah We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild
