Proud swagger out of the schoolyard    Waiting for the world's applause    Rebel without a conscience    Martyr without a cause       Static on your frequency    Electrical storm in your veins    Raging at unreachable glory    Straining at invisible chains       And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge    Staring down into a heartless sea    Can't face life on a razor's edge    Nothing's what you thought it would be       All of us get lost in the darkness    Dreamers learn to steer by the stars    All of us do time in the gutter    Dreamers turn to look at the stars    Turn around and turn around and turn around    Turn around and walk the razor's edge    Don't turn your back    And slam the door on me       It's not as if this barricade    Blocks the only road    It's not as if you're all alone    In wanting to explode       Someone set a bad example    Made surrender seem all right    The act of a noble warrior    Who lost the will to fight       And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge    Staring down into a heartless sea    Done with life on a razor's edge    Nothing's what you thought it would be       No hero in your tragedy    No daring in your escape    No salutes for your surrender    Nothing noble in your fate    Christ, what have you done?
