מילים לשיר Borderline – Joni Mitchell

Everybody looks so ill at ease
So distrustful so displeased
Running down the table
I see a borderline
Like a barbed wire fence
Strung tight, strung tense Prickling with pretense
A borderline
Why are you smirking at your friend?
All wellAll credibility revoked?
Is this to be the night when
Thin skin, thick jokes!
Can we blame it on the smoke
This borderline? Every bristling shaft of pride
Church or nation
Every notion we subscribe to
Is just a borderline
Team or tribe
All convictions grow along a borderline
Good or bad, we think we know
As if thinking makes things so!
Smug in your jaded expertise You scathe the wonder world
And you praise barbarity
In this illusionary placeThis scared hardBorderlines
All liberty is laced with
Every income, every age Every fashionEvery meanEvery measure, every gauge
Creates a borderline
Every stone thrown through glass
Will draw a borderline
Every swan caught on the grass You snipe so steady
You snub so snideSo ripe and ready
To diminish and deride!
My opinionated friend
You're so quick to condescend
All you deface, all you defend
Is just a borderline
Another borderline .
Just a borderline .
Just a borderline.
