Beautiful children in dangerous places Jury rigging autonomous spaces Pushing boundaries, taking risks This is why the city exists You go to get to where it's at A place with something nowhere else has The underground will not stay shut down Spaces grow to match the longing Let the big top rise Something out of nothing Miracles of transformation Breathe new life into abandoned spaces Breweries, storefronts, old warehouses Drills and hammers come out to play No one notices what you're up to Money's short-energy is long Take this wreckage, apply your vision Turn up, build it, total freedom Where is the wilderness? Where do the wild things go? Back when we were young and fearless Didn't watch TV at night Didn't have no internet then It took invention to get our kicks Mouths all chatting heads all buzzing Stumbling down the avenue Walk the gauntlet to the crucible Wonders hidden in the rubble Searching for only the good kind of trouble May you be safe tonight Live to create tonight Find yourself in a thousand warehouses Directions given in secret code No one here's got an NEA grant They just throw together all they've gathered Came of age in a thousand warehouses All I learned and all I forgot Dirty dens of transformation Everything the everyday is not A thousand scenes in a thousand warehouses Cover the walls and cover the floors New perspectives scramble the senses Things you've never heard or seen before May you be safe tonight Live to create tonight Innovation art and genius No more neglect no more disaster Love invention guts and power We demand a better future NOW The best and the brightest We'll never forget you Where is the wilderness? Where do the wild things go? Nowadays I tend to stay home But I hope you're out there Staring it all over Let a thousand warehouses bloom We have things to make (Somewhere between the National Endowment for the Arts The leadership of Congress And the President of the United States Let's give our kids something great to do Build them an empire of creativity So they'll be safe Come on guys, you had your fun Get off it. Give it to the kids. Make them happy)
