[Verse 1]
Gray light, new day leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on my alarm-clock radio
We walk the forty blocks up to the middle
To the place we heard where everyone would be

[Pre-Chorus]
And there were barricades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushin' forward
'Til they swallowed the police

[Chorus]
Yeah, they went wild
Baby, they went wild
They went wild
They went wild

[Verse 2]
We left beforе the dust had time to settlе
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
On the way home, held your camera like a Bible
Just wishin' so bad that it held some kind of truth

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped your paper in the water
It all begins to bloom
[Chorus]
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild

[Pre-Chorus]
And just when I get so lonesome I can't speak
I see some flowers on a hillside
Like a wall of new TVs

[Chorus]
Yeah, they go wild
Baby, they go wild
They go wild
They go wild

[Chorus]
Yeah, they go wild
They go wild
They go wild
Yeah, they go wild
