I think I could have slept the whole day away

But, when the phone rang at noon

I'd been woken up way too soon

A friend of mine was calling with some bad news

Another person we had known

Had waved his last goodbye and flown

Into the night

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

Sometimes I feel like death is closing in

I try to make some sense of it

But the pieces, they just never fit

I was there but I wish I could forget

When Little Jeanie breathed her last breath

Another drug related death

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

Tomorrow I think I'll stay in bed all day

And shut the sunlight from my room

Maybe then it won't be true

Just a bad bad dream

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction
