Against The Current - Running With The Wild Things | Lyrics

“Running With the Wild Things” is a song about the pressures and expectations of society. Chrissy sings about how the government and society standardises everything and doesn’t often allow room for creativity or breaking of that mould. This song is an empowerment song, encouraging the audience to push back against the pressure instead of caving in to it.
“Running With the Wild Things” was the first single off Against The Current’s debut album In Our Bones.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, they don't hear us
Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks
Oh, try to rein us in
Blind to our intelligence
[Verse 1]
Standardization of the masses
Give us a number, fail or pass us
Education, manipulation
Decide our fate but never ask us
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
We got too big for the cage you locked us up in
Let's mark this day 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
