When we were young, we were out on the street Rockin' and rollin' up on our feet
Burnin' a candle, keepin' a beat We ran wild in the sixties
When we were young, we were caught in a spell Right on the fire of a crazy hotel
Guess we all drank water from a different well We ran wild in the sixties
So if you're wondering what went wrong And where have all the folks gone
You're livin' in a time where you don't belong But you run wild in the sixties
You sure look a lot different then A little more salt, a little more sin
Save the world, let the party begin We ran wild in the sixties
And our heroes got cut down one by one Some to the fast lane, some to the gun
And we all cried and kept on runnin' We ran wild in the sixties
So if you're wondering what went wrong And where have all the heroes gone
You're livin' in a time where you don't belong But you run wild in the sixties

Been a long time since it all come down Nothin' much changed when you get downtown
There's guys on the sidewalk hunkerin' down But ran wild in the sixties
And you know nothin' really changed that much Them in charge are still out of touch
And the rich get richer and the poor get stuck Just like back in the sixties
So if you're wondering what went wrong And where have all the kingdoms gone
You're livin' in a time where you don't belong But you run wild
And if you're wondering what went wrong And where have all the flowers gone
You're livin' in a time where you don't belong But you run wild in the sixties
