This was the debut single from Skid Row’s self titled album released in 1989.
It describes the feeling of the narrator being a problem child to the wider society around him and speaks to the fact that he was not the first and certainly won’t be the last problem child on the streets.
Youth Gone Wild Lyrics
[Intro]
(Rollin’)
Woah, yeah
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
When 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 ought to know
I tell you Park Avenue leads to Skid Row"
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 get wild!
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Woah, woah
Woah, we are the youth gone wild
Woah, woah
Woah, we are the youth gone wild
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, we are the youth gone wild
Woah, woah
Woah, we are the youth gone wild
