Edge Of America Lyrics - Big Thing - Duran Duran

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?

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
