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
It's wild
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
It's wild
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
Innocently
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
