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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Just wishing 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
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild

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