[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
Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah) As long as nobody breaks my stride (Breaks my stride, breaks my stride, breaks my stride, breaks my stride)
[Verse 2] Tricks of the empire 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 ‘Til 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
Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah) As long as nobody breaks my stride
[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
