Grow Wild

Me and the girls used to run around Running rings around our little town Playing up til the sun went down We could circumnavigate it in no time After school we would meet where we hid the bong down on Lily street Climb up into the tallest tree Wild Wild Sucking on a stalk of sour weed, cutting across honeysuckle creek Trespassing private property, we were ignoring the Hazchem Billy cart travelling at great speed Heading for the old peppercorn tree It's not fun unless someone bleeds, safe and sound it wasn't Oh we grew wild, free range all across the country side Hey we grew wild, wild Sliding down sheep shit hill on a hessian sack was a summer thrill Strong bodies even stronger willed, oh do ya wanna be in my gang Sitting on a stack of porno mags in the recycling shed, out the back Where they gave ya money for bottle caps And incinerated the soft plastic I said, oh we grew wild Free range, all across the country side Oh we grew wild, wild, wild You can say what you like but we must have done something right Life long, still strong, still on a mission You can't make new old friends and if history pays dividends We'll spend our last days reminiscing About drawing with a stick on the dusty ground The rooms, the walls of a pretend house Where fights and drama were always allowed Oh to idealise that again I said we grew wild Free range, all across the country side Hey we grew wild Free range with our lives intertwined Oh we grew wild Grow Wild, and stay wild
