One of my favourite lyrics in music is by the band Rage Against the Machine from a song called “Ashes in the Fall” from their 1999 release The Battle for Los Angeles: “Ain’t it funny how the factory doors close/ Round the time that the school doors close/ Round the time that the doors of the jail cells/ Open up to greet you like a reaper.”
