Wild Side Lyrics

Kneel down you 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

Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

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

Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

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
Holy Mary, Mother, may I
Pray for us on the wild side?
Wild side, wild side

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

Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side
Take a ride on the wild side
Wild side

Gang fights, fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape, murder rape
Doing time on the wild side
A baby cries, a cop dies
A days pay on the wild side

Wild side, wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Kicking ass on the wild side
No going back on the wild side

What is the Meaning of Wild Side?

Ever wonder what it's like to live life on the edge? Mötley Crüe's track dives into the gritty, chaotic world of excess and rebellion. The lyrics paint a picture of a society fueled by greed, fame, and vice, where traditional values are tossed aside. It’s a raw commentary on living dangerously—embracing risky behaviors like drugs, violence, and infidelity without regard for consequences. The song juxtaposes religious references with sinful actions to highlight the moral decay in pursuit of hedonism. Essentially, it’s an unfiltered look at the darker side of life where thrill-seeking often leads to tragic outcomes.
