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 spent 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 spent 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 spent 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
