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   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   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 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 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   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   We are the youth gone wild
