The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oo they don't hear us
Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks
Oo 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
