Borderline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The boys of the empire They set my head on fire Pull the plug, sire I'll spit fire Gents of the empire Strangle my desire Pull the plug, sire And I'll spit fire [Chorus] I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad And I can't get rid of this tingling fear You'd sort me out if my head gets clear I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free I used to be blind and I still can't see And I won't get around to a change of mind As long as nobody breaks my stride [Verse 2] Tricks of the empire Make happy kids aim higher Higher up they wet fire Fools of the empire I went to school in the empire Learnt the rules from a brat sire I be a fool of the empire Till I break loose spread fire Burn it down [Chorus] I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad And I can't get rid of this tingling fear You'd sort me out if my head gets clear I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free I used to be blind and I still can't see And I won't get around to a change of mind As long as nobody breaks my stride [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad And I can't get rid of this tingling fear You'd sort me out if my head gets clear I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free I used to be blind and I still can't see And I won't get around to a change of mind As long as nobody breaks my stride
