What are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?
What are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?

You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loud
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loud

You run, you run with the wolves
You run with the wolves

You're a muck, that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck, that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loud

You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loud

What are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?
What are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?
What are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?
What are you gonna do?

You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves while I hunt like a hound
You're a muck that's why I had to cut you down
You run with the wolves, shout it out loud

You run, you run with the wolves
You run, you run with the wolves

You run with the wolves
You run with the wolves




You run with the wolves
You run

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Run With The Wolves" by The Prodigy depict a fierce competition between two individuals, where one is insultingly called a "muck" and has been "cut down" because they run with the wolves instead of hunting like a hound. The repetition of the question "what are you gonna do when the hounds are calling?" emphasizes the idea of a challenge or a dare, making the song more intense and powerful. The chorus "you run with the wolves" highlights the main theme of the song, suggesting that running with the wolves might be a wrong or dishonorable way of doing things, as opposed to hunting like a hound, which is the right way. The overall vibe of the song is aggressive and raw, which is a characteristic of The Prodigy's music style.
