Lyrics
On The Edge Of War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The nations are fighting tonight
For just another nothing
What's goin'on just isn't right
Somebody's life is stolen
They're sending soldiers to battlefields
To some foreign countries
Where children grow up playing
With toys like guns, bombs and fire
Sometimes you feel it in the wind
You can see it in the eyes of the people
Something wrong is happening
It's like stepping on a wire, on the edge of war
The war masters are back again
Like in that old Bob Dylan's song
They say they fight for a good cause
But you know, justice needs no blood
All over the world it's starting to rain
And you see it's wrong, I know
'Cause if this madmen's race started for real
It would be our turn to run
Sometimes you feel it in the wind
You can read it in the eyes of the people
Something wrong is happening
It's like stepping on a wire, on the edge of war
