Everybody looks so ill at ease[00:00:18]
So distrustful so displeased[00:00:23]
Running down the table[00:00:26]
I see a borderline[00:00:28]
Like a barbed wire fence[00:00:35]
Strung tight strung tense[00:00:40]
Prickling with pretense[00:00:44]
A borderline[00:00:47]
Why are you smirking at your friend[00:00:51]
Is this to be the night when[00:00:59]
All well-wishing ends[00:01:03]
All credibility revoked[00:01:08]
Thin skin thick jokes[00:01:13]
Can we blame it on the smoke[00:01:16]
This borderline[00:01:20]
Every bristling shaft of pride[00:01:40]
Church or nation[00:01:44]
Team or tribe[00:01:44]
Every notion we subscribe to[00:01:47]
Is just a borderline[00:01:49]
Good or bad we think we know[00:01:56]
As if thinking makes things so[00:02:00]
All convictions grow along a borderline[00:02:05]
Smug in your jaded expertise[00:02:12]
You scathe the wonder world[00:02:20]
And you praise barbarity[00:02:23]
In this illusionary place[00:02:29]
This scared hard-edged rat race[00:02:34]
All liberty is laced with[00:02:38]
Borderlines[00:02:42]
Every income every age[00:03:01]
Every fashion-plated rage[00:03:05]
Every measure every gauge[00:03:08]
Creates a borderline[00:03:11]
Every stone thrown through glass[00:03:17]
Every mean-streets-kick ass[00:03:21]
Every swan caught on the grass[00:03:25]
Will draw a borderline[00:03:28]
You snipe so steady[00:03:33]
You snub so snide[00:03:36]
So ripe and ready[00:03:42]
To diminish and deride[00:03:46]
You're so quick to condescend[00:03:50]
My opinionated friend[00:03:56]
All you deface all you defend[00:03:57]
Is just a borderline[00:04:01]
Just a borderline[00:04:11]
Another borderline[00:04:19]
Just a borderline[00:04:28]
