Ooh, they don't hear us
Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks
Ooh, try to rein 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 (one, two, three, four)
'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

Education, manipulation
Decide our fate, but never ask us

We got too big for the cage you locked us up in

So open the gate, open the gate
'Cause when we finally escape, finally escape
We'll be tearing through the streets
