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!)
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
There's something wrong with the world today,
The light bulb's gettin' 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 fallin'
We're livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
We're livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
We're livin' on the edge
(everybody, everybody)
Tell me what you think about your situation,
Complication, aggravation is getting to you
(yeah!)
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin',
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin' back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again
(guitar solo)
Tell me what you think about your situation,
Complication, aggravation is getting to you
(yeah!)
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin',
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin' back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again
Something right with the world today,
And everybody knows it's wrong
If you tell 'em no, we could let it go,
But I would rather be hangin' on
[a variation on the chorus -- to end]
