Livin' On The Edge
Aerosmith · Icon [2012]
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
[YA!]
(Chorus)
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 someting wrong with the world today
The lightbulb's gettin' dimmed
There's meltdown in the sky
[aaaaaahhh]
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister, you're a better man than I
[Oh]
(Chorus)
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself from fallin']
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself at all]
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't stop yourself from fallin']
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
{Everybody, everybody}
Tell me what you think about our 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 crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & Again & Again & Again & Again
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
Eehh,
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & Again & Again & Again
There's something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no
Or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on
(Chorus)
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself from fallin']
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself at all]
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't stop yourself from fallin']
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself from fallin']
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself at all]
Livin' on the edge
[You can't stop yourself from fallin']
Livin' on the edge
(Chorus)
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself]
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself at all]
{Everybody, everybody}
Livin' on the edge
[You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself]
{Everybody, everybody}
