(Chorus)
"Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above"
No love without truth, no truth without love
In the maze, you become mired in banality
Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality

(Verse 2)
You wanted macro-innovation to push the species high
To build the rocket engines that would colonize the sky
But the bureaucrat in charge explained the rule of university space:
Good research leads to more research to stay inside the race
So we focus on the micro, making increments so small
A tiny conversation that does nothing much at all
A paper to reply to what another paper said
Just incrementalized gossip of the living and the dead

(Verse 3)
They accepted your tuition, took your spirit and your gold
Then wrapped you in a dogma that is centuries-old
They taught you thinking about thinking to delay the actual deed
Adhering to a template that will never let you lead
You tried to copy the professor, speaking only in their tone
Terrified to have a single concept of your own
But institutions do not care about your individual sight
They only care to keep their cozy structures safe and tight

(Chorus)
Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above
"No love without truth, no truth without love"
In the maze, you become mired in banality
Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality

(Verse 4)
Now you sit inside your office, twenty years along the line
A minor cog locked tight within the bureaucratic design
Your grand dreams of macro-progress have collapsed into the clay
As you proofread student essays at the ending of the day
You became the very bureaucrat you once held in disdain
A gatekeeper of the system, keeping everything the same
An expert on a tiny sliver of an ignored domain
While civilization languishes in intellectual pain

(Chorus)
Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above
No love without truth, no truth without love
"In the maze, you become mired in banality"
Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality

(outro - Spoken work)
You didn't incarnate for inconsequentiality.
The inane deserves your fiercest ire.

(Verse 1) You stepped onto the campus with a proud, ambitious gaze Ready to unleash your brilliant mind upon the maze You dreamed of giant breakthroughs that would make the papers spin Refusing to accept the slow decay of what had been But you entered a machine that doesn't care for giant leaps Where the independent fire of the youthful thinker sleeps And the statist paradigm of the cathedral holds the door Demanding orderly memorization and little, dusty lore (Chorus) "Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above" No love without truth, no truth without love In the maze, you become mired in banality Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality (Verse 2) You wanted macro-innovation to push the species high To build the rocket engines that would colonize the sky But the bureaucrat in charge explained the rule of university space: Good research leads to more research to stay inside the race So we focus on the micro, making increments so small A tiny conversation that does nothing much at all A paper to reply to what another paper said Just incrementalized gossip of the living and the dead (Verse 3) They accepted your tuition, took your spirit and your gold Then wrapped you in a dogma that is centuries-old They taught you thinking about thinking to delay the actual deed Adhering to a template that will never let you lead You tried to copy the professor, speaking only in their tone Terrified to have a single concept of your own But institutions do not care about your individual sight They only care to keep their cozy structures safe and tight (Chorus) Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above "No love without truth, no truth without love" In the maze, you become mired in banality Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality (Verse 4) Now you sit inside your office, twenty years along the line A minor cog locked tight within the bureaucratic design Your grand dreams of macro-progress have collapsed into the clay As you proofread student essays at the ending of the day You became the very bureaucrat you once held in disdain A gatekeeper of the system, keeping everything the same An expert on a tiny sliver of an ignored domain While civilization languishes in intellectual pain (Chorus) Academically ensnared, you failed to rise above No love without truth, no truth without love "In the maze, you become mired in banality" Sip some tea with your inconsequentiality (outro - Spoken work) You didn't incarnate for inconsequentiality.
