Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living in the borderland
I don't feel like a boy, I don't feel like a man
In the things I don't understand
Things like love, like the law, law of the jungle
[Verse 2]
Are we all animals?
Are we all animals sharpening our teeth and claws, stocking up on cannonballs?
Living like nobody knows they can't hold on to love
And live by the law, the law of the jungle
[Chorus]
Help me, Holy Jesus, won't you show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table, I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me, Holy Lord, I see the light of heaven's porch
But so many of us are born here outside your chain link fence, yeah
[Verse 3]
Living in the borderland
You gotta fend for yourself, let the dogs eat the other man
Living in the borderland
You gotta take what you get, gotta get what you can
[Verse 4]
Are we all dangerous?
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up, pockets full of fairy dust?
Suffering the wanderlust, they all get crushed without love
By the law, the law of the jungle
[Chorus]
Help me, Holy Jesus, won't you show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table, I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me, Holy Lord, I see the light of heaven's porch
But so many of us are born here outside your chain link fence, yeah
[Verse 5]
Living in the borderland
Gonna fight like a boy, gotta run like a man
Living in the borderland
Gotta take what you get, gotta get what you can
[Outro]
You can't hold on
Can't hold on to love
You can't hold on
You can't hold on and live by the law
By the law, by the law
