[Verse 1]
Grey light, new day, leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on the alarm-clock radio
We walk the 40 blocks to the middle
Of the place we heard that everything would be

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And there were barricades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward
‘Til they swallowed the police

[Chorus]
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild

[Verse 2]
We left before the dust had time to settle
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
On the way home I held your camera like a Bible
Wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You drop the paper in the water
And it all begins to bloom

[Chorus]
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild

[Pre Chorus 3]
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
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
