The Edge Of America

Walk the edge of America
Concrete beach to scrape my head
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame
Becomes the violent breathVigilantes out on dawn patrol
And now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence
Which marks the great divideSing itHey boy, give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edgeBelow the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lostRecognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me here beside the sterile sea
Where is your nation now?We sayHey boy, give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge
