Running with the Wild Things

Ooh, they don't hear us

Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks

Ooh, try to reign us in

Blind to our intelligence

Standardization of the masses

Give us a number, fail or pass us

Education, manipulation

Decide our fate, but never ask us

We're about to boil over

You can't keep us down forever

We got too big for the cage

You locked us up in

Let's mark this down as the day

That we started something

So, open the gate, open the gate

'Cause when we finally escape, finally escape

We'll be tearing through the streets

Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Hey, why you waiting?

Quit carving notches to count the days

'Cause they're losing power

See 'em growing weaker by the hour

We're about to boil over

You can't keep us down forever

We got too big for the cage

You locked us up in

Let's mark this down as the day

That we started something

So, open the gate, open the gate

'Cause when we finally escape, finally escape

We'll be tearing through the streets

Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Standardization of the masses

Give us a number, fail or pass us

(Standardization of the masses)

(Give us a number, fail or pass us)

Education, manipulation

Decide our fate, but never ask us

(Education, manipulation)

(Decide our fate, but never ask us)

Never ask us, never ask us

We got too big for the cage

You locked us up in

Let's mark this down as the day

That we started something

So, open the gate, open the gate

'Cause when we finally escape, finally escape

We'll be tearing through the streets

Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh
