Edge of the World Lyrics

There was a time when we would talk about

The things you never wanted to hear

And you'd call me names and you'd put me down

But I could see right through your fear

Now the walls of your world have come tumbling down

Crumbling at your feet

You've been forced to take a look at what you tried to ignore

And the future's looking bleak

Turn off the music

Let my hand go

It's time to walk away

We're living at the edge of the world

And there's nothing left to say

It never seemed to bother you

That the world would not make sense

Too many orphans in the gutter

While their princes feast in tents

Still, you give your silver to the pirate kings

Who kill children as they sleep

Then turn the music on your stereo up

So you won't hear the prayers they speak

Turn off the music

Let my hand go

It's time to walk away

We're living at the edge of the world

And there's nothing left to say

You'd better buckle up, buttercup

Better get ready for the whitest knuckle ride of your lifetime

The fairground's taking down the scenery

The happy camper memories will soon be a thing of the past

You should have listened, girl, back when you still had a chance

When we still had a chance to make things different

But all you ever wanted was a holiday

Where you could bury your head in the sand

Turn off the music

Let my hand go

It's time to walk away

We're living at the edge of the world

And there's nothing more to say

We're living through the end of the world

And there's nothing left to say
