Oh, they don't hear us Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks Oh, try to rein us in Blind to our intelligence [Pre-Chorus] Standardization of the ma**es Give us a number, fail or pa** us Education, manipulation Decide our fate but never ask us We're about to boil over You can't keep us down forever [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
