The Futureheads – Across The Border lyrics

No-one likes to feel stupid
Stupid is a subjective thing
Subjective is how you feel today
And today and #39; s the day you and #39; re giving up
Kicked around, pulled apart
Dissected, over-analysed
The more you ask the deeper it gets
And you can and #39; t unpick the knot
Why didn and #39; 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 and #39; 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 and #39; s been brewing for a quarter of a century
We and #39; re arguing about something you can and #39; t even see
No-one wants to feel like they and #39; ve given up
No-one wants their belief system called into question
But what would it take to change your mind?
You and #39; 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 and #39; t it be nice to go on holiday somewhere in Italy?
How about a beer in Germany? Maybe we and #39; ll all move to Spain?
Maybe you don and #39; 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 and #39; t want to feel useless, I want it to be fine and to be able to sleep tonight
I don and #39; 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 and #39; s never easy leaving across the border
Tomorrow we and #39; ll run faster across the border
It and #39; s never easy leaving
