Skid Row – Youth Gone Wild

Since I was born, they couldn’t hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
I never played by the rules and I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

Well, I look and see it’s not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young (Hey), 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 one and one for all
The writing’s on the wall
(We are the youth gone wild)

Boss screaming in my ear about who I’m supposed to be
“Get a three-piece Wall Street smile and, son, you’ll look just like me”
I said “Hey man, there’s something you oughta know
Well, I’ll tell you, Park Avenue leads to Skid Row”

Well, I look and see it’s not only me
We’re standin’ tall, ain’t never a doubt
We are the young (Hey), 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 one and one for all
The writing’s on the wall
(We are the youth gone wild)

Well, let me hear you wail

(Whoa, yeah)

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 one and one for all
The writing’s on the wall
(We are the youth gone wild)

Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(We are the youth gone wild)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(We are the youth gone wild)
Yeah (Yeah-yeah)
Yeah
(We are the youth gone wild)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We are the youth gone wild
