Running with the Wild Things

Oh, they don't hear us Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks So, 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 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 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
