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
