Muscle Deep (Single Version)

Some of them want to break you down

And it's alright when the fear is theirs

But it kicks you in the face sometimes

When the cold is biting muscle deep

Well, I don't know if it matters

Or if I can say it doesn't fool me

When the fear is strong enough to hold its own way

Then you know it's gonna spread around

What am I gonna do about you? (Across the border)

When the feeling's gone, it's all pretending

And the living is always easy

It's a fine line

So you do what you can just to survive

And it gets too close for comfort sometimes

Everyone I ever knew agreed

That the prejudice lies muscle deep

Well, I don't know if it matters

Or if I can say it doesn't fool me

When the fear is strong enough to hold its own way

Then you know it's gonna spread around

What am I gonna do about you? (Across the border)

When the feeling's gone, it's all pretending

And the living is always easy

It's a fine line

Kick it, kick it, ow!

Come on look at my world and I'll take you by the hand

It doesn't take too long to see we're living in a land

Where faith and hope and glory count for more than life and peace

And bitterness and breaking point are only muscle deep

Well, I don't know if it matters

Or if I can say it doesn't fool me

When the fear is strong enough to hold its own way

Then you know it's gonna spread around

What am I gonna do about you? (Across the border)

When the feeling's gone, it's all pretending

And the living is always easy

It's a fine line

What am I gonna do about you? (Across the border)

When the feeling's gone, it's all pretending

And the living is always easy

It's a fine line
