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
