At The Edge

verse 1: Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me, never listened to a word I said Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me, never listened to a word I said Always yap yap yappin' and complainin' at me, made me think I'd be better off dead I don't wanna talk about it, I don't wanna hear no lip Take your share don't shout about it, that's your lot, remember you're a kid verse 2: They would always teach me that to swear was a sin, always speak your mind but not aloud Think of something that you wanna do with your life, nothin' that you like, that's not allowed I've no time to talk about it, all your stupid hopes and dreams Get your feet back on the ground son, it's exams that count not football teams And I'm runnin' at the edge of their world, they're criticisin' somethin' they just can't understand Livin' on the edge of their town and I won't be shot down verse 3: Taught me to defend myself and to be a man, how to kick someone and run away Gave me everythin' that any young man could need but don't understand why I won't stay Here's your room and here's your records, here's your home and here you'll stay Here's somewhere I don't believe in, wish someone would take it all away And I'm runnin' at the edge of their world, they're criticisin' somethin' they just can't understand Livin' on the edge of their town and I won't be shot down Solo: X2 Runnin' at the edge of their world, they're criticisin' somethin' they just can't understand Livin' on the edge of their town and I won't be, no I won't be, no I won't be shot down
