lyrics

it's break or be broken
a rule not outspoken
for him who will dare
devil may care

rather give it a go
than die around here
without future or past
and a shipload of fear

word is there's a train
to the north county campsites
at the terminal station
they feed you with bags full of

hope and it's said
you can stand in the queue
wait for your lucky number
be among the chosen few

and they're throwing the dice
and they'll soon let you know
is it hell or paradise
where you gotta go
they pretend to be god
but that's just a disguise
something's gone off here, it just doesn't seem right
I'm afraid we're all screwed for they close down the borders
tonight

if you run into my sister
or my brother or my mom
tell them no one can hurt me
after all they have done

and I'll be on that train
and I'll make it big time
and we'll soon meet again
and there'll be no borderline

and I'll be on that train
and I'll make it big time
and we'll soon meet again
and there'll be no borderline

and they're gambling with souls
and they play their own rules
and they treat us like fools
and they say we'll be fine
if we stay where we are
if we don't cross that line
something's gone off here, let's get this straight
they don't give a fuck and they close down the borders tonight
