There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
There's something wrong with the world today
The light bulb's getting dim
There's a meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I
We're livin on the edge (you can't help yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself at all)
Livin' on the edge (you can't stop yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I think you would my friend
Again and again and again and again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell them no or we can let it go
But I would rather be hanging on
We're livin on the edge (you can't help yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself at all)
Livin' on the edge (you can't stop yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself at all)
Livin' on the edge (you can't stop yourself from fallin')
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself)
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself at all)
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself)
Livin' on the edge (you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself)
Livin' on the edge (you can't stop yourself from fallin')
