lyrics
Too large, locked in, system, grim
Alienate and function, do time, no win
Inside, tension, displaced, blend in
- Punish minds, trapped in this maze where fear resides (run)
- Grease the gears – induce fear in the public sphere / - scapegoat migrants, split communities with sanctioned violence / - state compliance is an ironclad way to deflect away from the / - poor underpaid welfare state stuck now in the maze (run) / - control the way the fable plays out, media made and / - incarcerate at a faster pace while crime rates decline vice / grip from a racist system too big to / fix while this narrative maximises / spending on gears of injustice that spin and this / vision is given to us so Orwellian / - and draconian – simmer over and showboat / a militant weapon for terror while / sentencing kids to detention that never ends / – they’ll be in this maze forever so / run
Run the gauntlet, law and order
From left to right, no justice here where fear resides
In the maze, stuck for days
From right to left, no way back no final stretch

- Tough on crime – increase punishment on the lives of / - marginalised – sitting smack bang on the poverty fault line / - economic assault on those who lack money till they cold and hungry / - and they demonised, penalised, trapped where fear resides (run) / - we’re socialised to believe its ok to be locked away for a / - debt unpaid, while we haemorrhage funds from correction centres, enter / at your own risk – it’s too big to / fix – while social spending is ripped from the / dishevelled dwellers who sit in the cells with indelible / helplessness yelling in protest / - for a home that’s – not so focused on / testing the poverty stricken for living a / life but instead they’re provided a sentence / - they’ll be in this maze forever so / run
