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 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'll 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 up, we won't fall
We're 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 up, we won't fall
We're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild

    General Comment:Sebastian Bach is a legend. And how the fuck can you say it's dated? Fuck that! Some of the best music is old-school. Skid Row, along with bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Guns n Roses, Motley Crue, Pantera and Metallica all emerged more than 2 decades ago. And who cares if it's old? That's what makes it so brilliant! These bands are like red wine, they get better with age. The bands of today aren't all bad, but not quite the same of those of yesteryear. This song is an anthem for all those (such as myself) who oppose authority

    General Comment:It is obvious what the song is about: it's about kids that don't let anyone tell them what to do. They are young, and they are wild, and they will stay that way no matter what.

    The song is an anthem of teen age.

    And, of course, Baz is still among #1 singers in the world, even today, after all these years!

    General Comment:This song does remind me of Motley Crue, but Sebastian Bach's voice is perfect for this song, maybe not their heaviest, but still a great song.

    General Comment:shut the fuck up ohwhocares this song will never die. It's 1 of skid rows best songs B4 they got rid of Sabation Bach and I stopped listening 2 Skid Row. I grew up with this song and it is the reason why i'm a YOUTH GONE WILD motherfucker.
    P.S. Music 2day doesn't totaly suck. Staind is still kick ass (yeah aaron lewis whines more than he should) Fuel's awesome, Cold is killer, Godsmack is kickass, and Disturbed Rocks. It's emo that has caused music 2day 2 suck alot
