Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kneel down ye sinners
To streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new king
Hollywood dream teens
Yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring
Amen
[Verse 2]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
[Verse 3]
I carry my crucifix
Under my death list
Forward my mail to me in Hell
Liars and the martyrs
Lost faith in the Father
Long lost is the wishing well
[Verse 4]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
[Verse 5]
Fallen angels
So fast to kill
Thy kingdom come on the wild side
Our Father
Who ain't in Heaven
Be thy name on the wild side
[Verse 6]
Holy Mary
Mother, may I?
Pray for us on the wild side
Wild side
Wild side
[Verse 7]
Name dropping no names
Glamorize cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East LA at midnight
Papa won't be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife
[Verse 8]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
[Verse 9]
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
[Verse 10]
Gang fight
Fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
[Verse 11]
No escape
Murder, rape
Doing time on the wild side
[Verse 12]
A baby cries
A cop dies
A day's pay on the wild side
[Verse 13]
Wild side
Wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
[Verse 14]
Wild side
Wild side
Kicking ass on the wild side
[Verse 15]
No way back on the wild side
