Find table spaces, say your social graces Bow your head, they're pious here But you and I, we're pioneers, we make our own rules Our own room, no bias here Let 'em sell what they are sellin', there are no buyers here So gather all the rebels now, we'll rebel-rouse and sing aloud We don't care what they say no way, no way And we will leave the empty chairs to those who say we can't sit there We're fine all by ourselves So hey, we brought our drum and this is how we dance No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s Then leave us alone, 'cause we don't need your policies We have no apologies for being Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be alright, don't mind us) Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah) Find me where the wild things are I lose my balance on these eggshells You tell me to tread, I'd rather be a wild one instead Don't wanna hang around the in-crowd The cool kids aren't cool to me They're not cooler than we are So hey, we brought our drum and this is how we dance No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s Then leave us alone, cause we don't need your policies We have no apologies for being Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be alright, don't mind us) Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah) We will carve our place into time and space We will find our way, or we'll make a way (say hey, hey, hey) Find you're great, don't you hide your face Let it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine So hey, we brought our drum and this is how we dance No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s Then leave us alone, 'cause we don't need your policies We have no apologies for being Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be alright, don't mind us) Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah) Find me where the wild things are
