Wild and Free II

 

Sit down, shut up and don’t make any waves

Let’s not forget who’s directing this play

You have to act like you’re above everyone else

Just a reflection of how you feel about yourself

You see us and your world through a distorted lens

Which support all your judgments that you must defend

You’re too straight to ever bend

 

Well you must think you own us ‘cause we haven't a say

With no rights to be taken away

You’re quick to pick out each and every mistake

Of course we know it’s for our own sake

You say it’s to prepare us for the big world someday

So we can be just like you and slave our whole lives away

They're our decisions to be made

 

‘Cause we’re wild and free

Yes we’re wild and free

And we do as we please

We are wild and free

 

We’re all subject to your varying moods

It’s bound to play out in what you say and do

Always sure to make some snide remark

While preaching core values is but a farce

We’re done being scapegoats for your long repressed rage

‘Cause we’re now more than ready to break out of this cage

It’s finally time we turn the page

 

Still you’d rather have us believe how you treat us is okay

Working each angle every hour of the day

Using fear to control and intimidate

Though we know better than to take the bait

You stand there ready to point the finger of blame

But we won't play along with your 'ol shaming game

Can’t you see we can’t be tamed

 

‘Cause we’re wild and free

Yes we’re wild and free

And we do as we please

We are wild and free

 

   Our souls are inviting us to rise to our destiny

Live life as an adventure the way it was meant to be

 Experience the freedom to fully spread our wings

And create the kind of world that makes our hearts sing

 

 Someday when the rumors prove to be true

And those you bow to turn their backs on you

It’s just your fine reputation being smeared

Since that’s who you are it’s your biggest fear

As we watch your false power crumble and fade

Just give us one good reason why we should stay

Yeah we’re goin’ out to play

 

We celebrate and bless the day

We made the turn to go our own way

It’s like seeing the world with new eyes

And we feel so much more alive

It’s so liberating to be free of you

From your blind institution and it’s disposable rules

We know what we’re here to do

 

‘Cause we’re wild and free

Yes we’re wild and free

We’re livin’ what we believe

We are wild and free
