Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my hand
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame

Becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol

But now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence
Which marks the great divide


Hey 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 age

Below the towers of the citadel

Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lost


Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd

So tell me beside this sterile sea
Where is your nation now?


And we say
Hey 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
