Red Queen Theory |
| What do we want? |
| We want that muthafucking bomb |
| And we never pause to consider if we got it wrong |
| What we really want is a magic wand |
| Sell it for a song |
| Whatever the Red Queen wants |
| Chase Alice through Saddam’s palace? |
| if your feet don’t keep balance |
| Develop wings like Daedalus |
| Your neighbors get jealous and develop their own |
| But in the meantime consolidate your place on the throne |
| You prohibit alcohol and make a king of Capone |
| You had it coming, you better do more than running? |
| Skipping is jumping its outmuscling them and then bumping em |
| Its evolving ever better ways of outwitting the other come on |
| The endless cycle tit-for-tat |
| Cat-and-mouse game and never end the risk of that, nah |
| Empires expire, systems collapse |
| Viruses attack, bacteria fight back |
| It just don’t stop, keep running on the spot keep running round the clock come |
| on |
| Watch what’s behind you, cos now they’re beside you |
| Before you know it they’ll be flying right by you |
| What are you walking for? |
| Run! |
| Run like your life is in danger |
| Keep running but stay on the same spot |
| Imagine where we’d be if we stopped… Go! |
| Go! |
| What are you walking for? |
| Run! |
| Run like your life is in danger |
| Keep running but stay on the same spot |
| Imagine where we’d be if we stopped… |
| Keep running, running |
| Keep running, running |
| The Red Queen said keep the refugees locked up |
| Or ship em off to Malaysia, trying to persuade ya |
| That we can take a strong stance, stop the boats landing |
| They said that in 1788, still standing |
| Well we’re running on that treadmill, the polls demand it |
| Say one thing and do another, that’s underhanded |
| Let’s say racism was Hanson’s invention |
| But she wasn’t the one that put the kids in detention |
| But we really care a lot, look at the NT intervention |
| Running hard on the cure but not prevention |
| Now that’s a «Too-Hard Basket» if I ever saw one |
| It makes your apology look like a fucking poor one |
| Send in the troops to control the pay packets |
| Yo we’re taking the land |
| Well that sounds like the same racket |
| If we didn’t do something it’d be time to fret, ha |
| Genocide through benign neglect, yuh |
| What are you walking for? |
| Run! |
| Run like your life is in danger |
| Keep running but stay on the same spot |
| Imagine where we’d be if we stopped… Go! |
| Go! |
| What are you walking for? |
| Run! |
| Run like your life is in danger |
| Keep running but stay on the same spot |
| Imagine where we’d be if we stopped… |
| Keep running, running |
| Keep running, running |
| We keep running we keep we keep running |
