Living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century
I see the world in revolution
Spinning faster all the time
We're heading for the end of something
Just about to step across that line
Oh, can't you see?
We're staring in the face of reality
Oh, you and me
We're living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century, yeah
Feel the way the earth is shaking
Hear the rumble miles away
Say goodbye to Checkpoint Charlie
Walls are falling every day
Oh, can't you see?
Every step we take we're making history
Oh baby, you and me
We're living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century
We're living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century
You can't turn off the information
Can't sit back in your easy chair
Just can't ignore a generation
Better get ready 'cause we're almost there
Woah oh, we're moving at the speed of life, yeah
Woah oh, into a brave new world where the strong will survive
The dawn's gonna break and I'll meet you
On the other side
You can't stand still while the earth is turning
Can't take cover 'til the coast is clear
Can't play guitar while Rome is burning
Look out now 'cause the future's here
Woah oh, and we're moving at the speed of life
Woah oh, living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century
Living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century, yeah
Living on the edge, on the edge
On the edge, on the edge
Of the century, yeah
