The fourth song off 1990’s “The Razor’s Edge”.
In a 1992 interview with Muchmusic, Angus explained;
‘The Razors Edge’ comes from an old saying farmers used to use in Britain where you’d have a fine sunny day, you know, a very good day with a hot sun, and then all of a sudden right in the distance...
[Verse 1]
There's fighting on the left
And marching on the right
Don't look up in the sky
You're gonna die of fright
[Pre-Chorus]
Here comes the razor's edge
[Verse 2]
You're living on the edge
Don't know wrong from right
They're breathing down your neck
You're running out of lives
[Pre-Chorus]
And here comes the razor's edge
Here comes the razor's edge
[Chorus]
The razor's edge
[Bridge]
(Razor's edge)
To raise the dead
(Razor's edge)
To cut to shreds
To raise the dead
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Here comes the razor's edge
Here comes the razor's edge
[Bridge 2]
Well, here it comes
To cut to shreds
The razor's edge
[Chorus]
It's the razor's edge
On the razor's edge
That you'll be cut to shreds
Got a razor's edge
By the razor's edge
