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
