Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Born into hate

And policed by violence

You take hold of your fate

You excavate silence

You say "I'm just happy to survive"

"This law and disorder"

All of your needs

And all of your hunger

Your permanent pain

Now buried in thunder

You say "See you on the other side"

"Come over the border"

It's close to the bone

Caresses abrasion

Blessings and blame

Consent and persuasion

And I said "I love you, but don't cry"

"Cos that ain't an order"

Living alone

I'm close to your heartbeat

And you're feeling at home

When you stand on your own feet

And I saw the morning in your smile

Come over the border
