Lyrics

(Lebon, rhodes, taylor)

Walk the edge of america
A concrete beach to scrape my head
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol, but now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence which marks the great divide

(Sing it)

Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if you're tired of searching.
This is where it ends, there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess.
Welcome to the edge

Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise, now paradise is lost

Recognition never realised
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me here beside the sterile sea where is your nation now?

(We say)

Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if you're tired of searching.
This is where it ends, there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess.
Welcome to the edge
