about

This was our contribution to the Calgary Beer Core Volume 3 Compilation.

The Borderguards are the only band to have appeared on all 3 awesome compilations that the Calgary Beer Core have put out, since 2008.

Sadly, this is the only studio track that friends Graham Riddle and Rob Salter appeared on.

lyrics

You had it, you lost it,
Narcotic psychotic,
Alone you got no friends,
The party never ends,
Got wasted, got greedy,
Got selfish, got needy,
Can't stop, you're on a roll,
Spinning right out of control,

Buckle up, take your seat,
One way street, One way street,

You're losing, you're fading,
Your brain is mutating,
You're the one who volunteered,
Now shit's just getting weird,
Wrong turn! bad direction,
Addiction, depression,
Just couldn't leave it alone,
Now you're in the danger zone,

Use your head, face the facts,
Aneurism, a heart attack,

You won't be coming back....

1st solo: Graham Riddle
2nd solo: V. Pratt

You knew better, did worse,
You're driving in reverse,
Ignoring all the signs,
Not seeing between the "lines",
