Across the Border Lyrics by The Futureheads

Powers

2019

No-one likes to feel stupid
Stupid is a subjective thing
Subjective is how you feel today
And today's the day you're giving up
Kicked around, pulled apart
Dissected, over-analysed
The more you ask the deeper it gets
And you can't unpick the knot
Why didn't we see it in the distance?
The chances of anything coming from Mars
Really? Really? Is that the time?
Smug, conceited like someone who knows a fat juicy secret
Let us all in on the joke, Snake's too good a name for you, mate
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
When did you get so hard?
Why did you stop thinking about us?
Where were you when it all fell apart?
What did you do to stop it happening?
A bolt out of the blue that's been brewing for a quarter of a century
We're arguing about something you can't even see
No-one wants to feel like they've given up
No-one wants their belief system called into question
But what would it take to change your mind?
You've the right to call yourself whatever you like
What would it take to allow everyone that privilege?
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Wouldn't it be nice to go on holiday somewhere in Italy?
How about a beer in Germany? Maybe we'll all move to Spain?
Maybe you don't feel the same? Surely we all feel the same?
Getting on a plane in the summertime what would it take to change your mind?
I don't want to feel useless, I want it to be fine and to be able to sleep tonight
I don't want to feel useless, I want it to be fine and to be able to sleep tonight
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Take take, take take take
What would it take to change your mind?
Tomorrow will be better across the border
It's never easy leaving across the border
Tomorrow we'll run faster across the border
It's never easy leaving
