What can only be described as “a stadium hymn to the energy of youth,” “The Wild and the Young” was the lead single off Quiet Riot’s 1986 album, “QR III.” The song is best remembered for its music video, which painted an Orwellian-type future where totalitarian militarists wipe out rock n' roll.

The Wild and the Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Times are changing, nothing stays the same
For this jukebox generation
Adhere to fashion like computer games
Modern day communication
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The news hard to take will fade in tomorrow
They are the strong, they'll survive
[Chorus]
The wild and the young, they all have their dreams
The wild and the young, they got to be free
The sun never sets for souls on the run
The wild and the young, yeah
[Verse 2]
Roaring passion with no guilt or shame
It's accepting education, yeah
Misbehaving, no regrets, no blame
With a bold kind of sophistication
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So close to the edge and high on the wire
They are not wrong, they're alive
[Chorus]
The wild and the young, they all have their dreams
The wild and the young, they got to be free
The sun never sets for souls on the run
The wild and the young
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
So close to the edge and high on the wire
They are not wrong, they're alive
Look out
Wild, wild
The wild and the young, y-y-y-y-young
[Chorus]
The wild and the young, they all have their dreams
The wild and the young, they got to be free
The sun never sets for souls on the run
The wild and the young, they all have their dreams
The wild and the young, they got to be free
The sun never sets for souls on the run
The wild and the young
[Outro]
The wild and the young
Oh, alright
