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 my 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
