Red Queen Theory

Yeah... yeah! [Verse 1: Urthboy] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2: Ozi Batla] 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 [Chorus] 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
