You say you've never seen the light before Does anyone believe you? Don't let them hear you say any more Nothing's really safe around here We are an imitation of the crown We never turn the pages They cannot let your spirit touch the ground And nothing's going to change around here, no Crack in the ceiling, hole in the wall They bend you over but you won't crawl away You've got two in the bushes, one in the hand They'd make you over but they can't understand you You're always going to be the wild one Pretend that all you really feel is pain Just hide behind some sorrow How sad but you'd do it all again Nobody changes around here Cat in the cradle, man in the moon They'd make you over but it's too soon to know, no I smell smoke in the kitchen, fire in the hall The train is coming and you can hear it calling You're always going to be the wild one Wild, wild one Crack in the ceiling, hole in the wall They bend you over now you won't crawl away You've got two in the bushes, one in the hand They'd make you over but they can't understand you You're always going to be the wild one Wild, wild, wild, wild one
