Caught In The Maze (2022 Remaster) Lyrics

Heading out early to the greasy spoon

Just to beat the crowds because when there's not any room

You got to wait outside in the cities gloom

Thinking about the coffee that will make you zoom

From inside the precious womb to the tomb

Then you stay up late because it's too hard to sleep

You're occupied with life's pile of trash piled so deep

That you can't figure out ways to clean up that heap

The more you knock it down the more you notice how steep

Enough to leap

But others with weep or else call you the creep

Yeah but you don't have much to say

You'll never get away

Once Caught up In The Maze

With the weekend set aside as a time to relax

Stuck in another line and staring at their backs

You ask for more credit but your line is to the max

People roll their eyes like a ball of wax

They don't want to pay your tax

When you're jailed staring at the cracks

So now you're stressing too much you need more vitamin B

But since escaping ain't accepted in today's society

That whole drug culture died in '73

And at ten years old you couldn't see

All the hatred and fear in this here free country

Yeah but you don't have much to say

You'll never get away

Once Caught up In The Maze

Yeah but you don't have much to say

You'll never get away

Once Caught up In The Maze

Well now we're right here in the 90's and we're seeking some truth

But since the lies are more exciting in the voting booth

Don't question the fella well dressed, golden tooth

He'll interrogate you like some silver screen sleuth

Beat you on the head with that bottle of vermouth

You drank since your youth

And that paycheck on Friday used to spell relief

Now everything you own breaks you like a thief

You're feeling cheated out of that fourth lucky leaf

Hanging your head between your palms in grief

Soaking up your bosses handkerchief

In disbelief

Good grief

Yeah but you don't have much to say

You'll never get away

Once Caught up In The Maze

Yeah but you don't have much to say

You'll never get away

Once Caught up In The Maze
