Borderline

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

Boys of the empire
They set head on fire
Pull the plug, sire
I'll spit fire

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

Tricks of the empire
Make happy kids aim higher
Higher up, they wet fire
Fools of the empire

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
