Lyrics

Ahhh yeah

America the beautiful

Let me introduce y'all to the wild side

This is how it is

Annie was a high school cheerleader

Pompoms and bobby socks and no girl was sweeter

Come prom time everybody was on the line

All the fellas singing nickel and dime

Tales about love and lust and trust

But Annie took it all in stride

Cause deep inside Annie had aspirations

Besides that, she had expectations

Wanted to be a chemical engineer

Making fifty to fifty-five thousand a year

Her first year of college was a success

But along comes Billy possessed and obsessed

He took Annie on a fatal date

And showed her things that made heartbeats accelerate

Annie took a hit, breathed two short breaths

One for life, the last for death

Now she's gone, a former valedictorian

Ended up becoming a topic for historians

Washed up dreams, shattered pride

All because Annie took a hit on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

It's wild

Ron had enough of being broke every day

Saying to himself there's gotta be a better way

Cause nine to five wasn't worth the headaches

So Ron figured out a faster way to make money

Before you know it he's a rich man

Gold on every finger of his hand

A brand new BMW, a condo

Ron ended up a John Doe

A body was found in the alley but never claimed

Full of bullet holes with nothing to blame

Ron became another victim of homicide

Because he chose to walk on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

Charles had everything going for him

A top paying job, a good life, a good wife

A baby boy on the way any day

A gentleman attitude is all he displayed

Carol was the wife he loved and adored

Her family and friends treated him like an ambassador

One night on the other side of town

A police dispatcher picked up a weird sound

Charles on the car phone asking for help

Claiming a burglar shot his wife and himself

His pregnant wife lay slumped over

Her dreams corrupted, a young life over

Extensive searches throughout the projects

Put a lot of people through misery and wreck

Everyone a suspect til someone was found

Interrogated because his skin was brown

Then there was Bennett, guilty until proven so

But soon as the case started moving slow

What do you know, sure as a seagull gets webbed-toed

Charles was the culprit

The whole plot was an insurance scam

Charles and his brother came up with a plan

Kill Carol, collect the big checks

Blame it on a black man, what the heck

Just before the story was known

Charles had a feeling that his cover was blown

So he jumped off a bridge, committed suicide

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

Little Tiffany, only thirteen

Came to the city, place of big dream

Visiting family and friends for the summertime

Sitting on a mailbox watching the boys climb trees

And the girls play hopscotch

So far her vacation was top notch

Out of the blue a Mercedes at top speed

Gangbangers chasing, rivals on a stampede

Quick as a blink shots rang out loud

And a hail of bullets zipped through the crowd

One hit Tiffany and instantly she died

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is on the wild side

This is how it is, this is how it is on the wild side
