You say you've never seen the light before
Does anyone believe you
Don't let them hear you say anymore
Nothing's really safe around here

We are an imitation of the crown
We never turn the pages
They cannot let you spirit touch the ground
Nothing's gonna change around here

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

Two in the buisnes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the wild one

Pretend that all you really fell is pain
Just hide behind some sorrow
How sad
But you'd do it all again
(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here

Cat in the cradle
Man in the moon
They'd make you over
But it's too soon to know

Smoke in the kitchen
Fire in the hall
The train [bad word] And yo can hear it calling
You're always gonna be the wild one

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

Two in the buisnes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understad you
You're always gonna be the Wild One
