on the edge of a knife

as white as ice

and not so nice

filled with dread

moments from dead

a shot in the arm

there's no charm

in the crowded street

there's strangers to meet

decisions to make

is it real or fake

but it's my life

on the edge of a knife

watching the news

trying to choose

which way will it go

but i don't know

wishing upon a star

there's agents in an armored car

and a dark truck

people without luck

holding a big gun

spoiling our fun

running their own show

unable to know

how to stop fights

how to uphold rights

as white as ice

and not as nice

filled with dread 

moments from dead

a shot in the arm

there's no charm

but it's my life

on the edge of a knife.
