The edge, I'm walking a fine line Too young to be waiting at stop signs I'm on fire and I can't cool down And I'm ready to roll right out of this town
Chorus 1: 'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school They teach it on the street, it's the only rule It's the edge
The edge, I'm dying in the classroom Tell me why should I dance to your tune Keep your plans for my security Because there's only one thing taking care of me
Chorus 2: And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife It's the way I run, it's a way of life The edge
You can't hold me down forever What doesn't kill me makes me strong If you can't take it, you can't make it Out here on the edge, for very long
