What happened to the youth of the USA?
Would you help me understand?
You used to be the model of non-conformity
Now it's all the same, oh

They got you playing their game
But it don't really matter
Over the money and fame
You gotta take it back

From the West Coast waters to the New York streets
Hear it calling me
For the sons and daughters of the wild and free
Can you feel the beat?
Rock is all you need, yeah

Somebody pulled the plug round 1993
And it's never been the same
Trash corporate radio, soap opera MTV
You can do much better

Don't let them make up your mind
Like the millions of others
Stand up, don't fall back in line
You gotta take it back

From the West Coast waters to the New York streets
Hear it calling me
For the sons and daughters of the wild and free
Can you feel the beat?
Rock is all you need

From the Texas border 'cross the USA
Hear it calling me
All the sons and daughters, all you wild and free
Can you still believe?

From the West Coast waters to the New York streets
I hear it calling me
For the sons and daughters of the wild and free
Say, can you feel the beat?
Rock is all you need

Hear it calling me
Can you feel the beat?
Rock is all you need
