Life was great when I grew up Everyone around me seemed stuck Like all their dreams had broke on them And opportunities all closed on them But this couldn't be what life was meant to be I couldn't let it suffocate me Oh woah oh oh I'm a wild child I fell in love with the wild fire To live fast and to die young To break away, halleluja! Wham bam boom, run right through ya I took the only way out I knew I got doped up and away I flew I hit the streets and I hit the juice I rock 'n' rolled and let all hell break loose I didn't care if I choked and died At least I would know I had felt alive Oh woah oh oh I'm a wild child I fell in love with the wild fire To live fast and to die young To break away, halleluja! Wham bam boom, run right through ya All of these stories they end the same You wreck your chances and you're left with shame Sometimes I feel I'm just a big mistake And now I'm worse often, what I tried to escape But when the search of action come I can't help myself, I love nothing else Oh woah oh oh I'm a wild child I fell in love with the wild fire To live fast and to die young To break away, halleluja!
