Against The Current - Running With The Wild Things Lyrics






Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh
Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh

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
Tearin' through the streets
Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh
Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh

Hey, why you waitin'?
Quit carvin' 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
Tearin' through the streets
Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh
Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh

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
Tearin' through the streets
Running with the wild things

Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh
Oo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-oh, ooo-ooo-oh

    My daughter is a huge fan of yours and did that cover of this song and "Outsiders". When she was growing up, she always ask me to take her to your concerts in MD/DC/VA area, thank you so much for being a huge influence and now she has continued in her own band called: After The Broken (ATB) her style is a combo of you and Paramore...

  27. Z.... ....

    Nobody's talking about how accurate these lyrics are ?
    This song is just my mood because education is just there to put us into the little box called "system" and broke so many of us... Everytime I am mad about education and I want a revolution, this song comes to my mind and I just scream it internally all day long.

  28. �.... ....

    If anyone says that "Rock is dying" I'll show them this song...and agree with them. What an uninspiring, bland song. They're definitely NOT against the current.

    P.... W....

    Well....it wasn't meant to be rock song, so....that might be the problem???

  74. Y.... M....

    Against the current has some woke lyrics. Lol. Scope out the Flat Earth.

  75. s.... e....

    🙋 I have to say for a non Christian rock band against the current is really cool + their music is like out of this world. I have only gotten into against the current like maybe 3 days ago and I think they're fantastic. You can say they're one of my favorite bands now. Which is highly not my typical thing.I mean no disrespect the thing is I pretty much listen to 97% more of your hard rock and heavy metal Christian bands more than anything. However against the current music is fantastic and I don't see anything wrong with their lyrics or music so against the current is totally cool. Anyway I definitely would love to see against the current tour with a fantastic out-of-this-world band called (( veridia )) oh my veridia is a fantastic an awesome band. for those of you who never heard this band. I think you need to check them out. So I was saying I would love to see (( against the current & veridia )) come to the sands at Bethlehem Pennsylvania. Both of these bands come to their like guarantee it this would be one of the greatest concert in the world. I am going to Barnes & Noble Friday to pick up against the current CDs that I had ordered from them. Can't help it even though it's been 3 days I have been listening to against the current I'm getting some great vibes from their music and for some reason they're addicting. And like I said for a non Christian rock band against the current is like out of this world. And also like I said before I normally just listen to all hard rock and heavy metal Christian metal bands. However there's something special about against the current that I love listening to I also enjoy their music. As long as they keep having great lyrics and not having all the other crap that's in their music like other bands do. Then I will continue to listen to against the current. There's just so many bands out there today that don't have respect for themselves or their fans. Most of them tell you want to keep singing about violence and drugs and alcohol and stuff like that I think that's. To me I think music should be for enjoyment not abuse. And this is why I listen to a lot of Christian hard rock and heavy metal bands and singers. Anyway just cannot wait for has the current to come out with a new cd & new music videos.

  76. C.... D....

    Why have I never heard of this group before I am loving this

  77. S.... c....

    Chrissy you are so amaizing

  78. N.... c....

    This remeber me of "Red Queen" from Viktoria aveyard who else?❤️😅

  79. d.... l....

    its the breath case from the young blood chronicals

    d.... l....

    wish they would tell us what's inside it, I still stand by my theory that it's Patrick Stump's spare fedora

  80. J.... B....

    did Kerrang! TV ever play this, I'm sure that is where I heard this

  81. y.... R....

    Please make some new song videos

  82. K.... ....

    Great make up ^^

  83. �.... ....

    最近メイクが濃い気が

  84. H.... m....

    Where the hell is this girl now?

  85. P.... ....

    I love this

  86. R.... M....

    Great song, not so great video imho.
