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 screaming 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 standing tall ain't never a doubt We are the young, so shout it out Whoa whoa whoa We are the youth gone wild Yeah yeah yeah We are the youth gone wild Whoa whoa whoa We are the youth gone wild

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no He had no money, oh, no good at home He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline He kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one" He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun Bang bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend And now it's 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go "Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go

False tales, lies of a washed up prom queen Why'd you tell me everything was fine, everything was okay? Get on your knees Oh! Oh, why? (Tear me up) No, why? (Everything's dead inside) Oh! You could've told me, at least I would've known No, you should've told me and carved it in my bones Tear out my eyes, remove the gift of sight Proves ever cursing, the light won't find us here Painted red my eyes are burning And still you hide behind the waves Your silence is haunting Your words relentless, burying in My heart betrays me for a last, first kiss goodbye Fall asleep, jar one eye Jar one eye! Spilling every lie you've spilled before Still I'm not forgiving you What happened between us, what can I give to save us? Being righteous isn't quite enough What happened between us, what can I give to save me? These oceans are far between our hearts (x2) The breathing has got too hard No Scream with the voice of an angel Lie in the name of the gospel Smile in the face of your victims, smile for me This is my last request to you "Hold my breath" I was clutching on to disaster "Hold my breath"

1, 2, 3, 4 (All the things that you said was it all in my head?) Come on baby Keep it down, honey hush your lips Clothes trailing from the backdoor to the bedroom And I don't even know your name Give me all you've got Make this night worth my time Make this worth my time Oh what I would give to live this night again I knew when I first saw you You'd fuck like a whore That this would be a night to remember Hope they hear you screaming for more Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze My lips, your poison They bring you to your knees Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze My lips, your poison They bring you to your knees (Oh, c'mon) Girl get down It's almost over Take it all the way You stupid fucking whore And after all of all my dreaming being only you You're standing there baby (oh the things that I could do) Back to the wall with a drink in my hand Back it up, baby ride, ride, RIDE One step too late and I never told you That I can't take another disappointment Breathing and gasping all leads to another messy ending. (2x) (Dead end!) With your back against the wall, with your face buried in the pillow I see you cold, I feel you heartless Bitch, you stupid fucking bitch You stupid fucking bitch (Fuckin' bitch!)

I see myself there waiting by the roadside Laid claim to nothing, but a black bag, and the attire I stand in No name, no history, just a target on my temple And a hole in my head, I could've been one of kings The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be A monkey in a man suit! I stand here as nothing to you Wind me up and watch me go Lay down your guns! Cut me from ear to ear! Eye for an eye! The glass is long gone broken Lay down your guns! Cut me from ear to ear! Eye for an eye! The glass is long gone broken I walk this road alone, no thanks to you I walk this road alone, no thanks to you, no thanks to... Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Lay your guns down, let me die! Why won't you just let me die?! Lay your guns down, let me die! Why won't you just let me die?! Lay your guns down, let me die! Why won't you just let me die?! Lay your guns down, let me die! Why won't you just let me die?! Lay your guns down, let me die! Why won't you just let me die?! Lay your guns down, let me die! Scars don't heal when you keep Cutting! Always cutting! Cutting deeper! Always deeper! Yeehaw! Scars don't heal when you keep cutting!

Get the fuck away from me I know that I Have done wrong and continue to do so, but without remorse I know that I Am on a fast track to the grave, and I'm headed there alone I struggle to find myself this time Save yourself for a man with a conscience I fight to find myself this time Save yourself for a man that isn't me I spend my days looking through pages Trying to find a way to get away from me A love to give that leaves you breathless Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind I don't want to leave you breathless When will you realize? I don't want to leave you breathless When will you realize? I don't want to leave you breathless When will you save yourself? Yeah I spend my days looking through pages Trying to find a way to get away from me A love to give that leaves you breathless Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind I need to find A way back inside my mind (Oh) I need to find A way back inside my mind This is not the end (This is the end of) This is not the end (This is the end of) This is not the end (This is the end of) This is not the end Oh Oh (Yeah) Oh Every mistake I've made Leaves a scar that burns every day Yet still, I carry on Without regret, without remorse I'm gone You're better off to walk away I am corruption, I am sin Forget my name Forget my face Forget my name Forget my face
