Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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, yeah

[Chorus]

We're livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

[Verse 2]

There's something wrong with the world today

The light bulb's getting dim

There's 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

[Chorus]

We're livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from falling (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from falling (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

Everybody, everybody

[Bridge]

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah

If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling

Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling back again?

I bet you would, my friend

Again and again and again and again and again

[Bridge]

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah

If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling

Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling back again?

I bet you would, my friend

Again and again and again and again and

[Verse 3]

There's something right with the world today

And everybody knows it's wrong

But we can tell 'em no, or we could let it go

But I would rather be a-hangin' on

[Chorus]

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from falling (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from falling (Everybody, everybody)

Livin' on the edge

Everybody, everybody

[Chorus]

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from falling

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from falling

Livin' on the edge

[Outro]

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 help yourself from falling

Livin' on the edge, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
