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

Repeat first verse, Chorus 1, Chorus 2
