lyrics

Time To Cross The Line (partial Capo on 2nd fret in E)

D
Will you give me a little notice before you pull that pin?
You don’t mind the danger, but some walls are thin.
Things are really a bit unraveled, shadows gaining some weight.
Is that a torch or a funeral pyre out beyond the gate?
G2, sus4 A D
I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.
I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.

All the channels are in their pockets. That’s plain to see.
So why are we taking notes on their fantasy?
We’re in the dark and it’s their motto, “Don’t leave any clues.”
We’ve embraced the boa constrictor, so why light a fuse?

I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.
I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.

Every theft is wrapped in ribbons like a birthday gift.
Every turn to a feudal state called a little shift.
It’s like a movie of blood and glory, outlaws with a smile,
Till the house lights come back on and the police have blocked the aisle.

I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.
I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.

All I hear is silence now applauding every move.
I see people who watch and wait and fear to disapprove.
Our nation above all else. God shed his light on thee.
Slight of hand and mirrors, they lead us into the sea.

I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.
I want to know, I want to know when it’s time to cross the line.
