Razor’s Edge (edit)

Never callin’, unanswered letters
How you been? Feelin’ better?
Never lookin’ but you’re hearin’
Never speakin’ but you’re feelin’
All the silence, and it’s wounding
You’re not healing, just concealing

Play the game
Play the game

Oh, brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don’t roll over, don’t play dead
We’re all livin’ on the razor’s edge
Oh, brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We’re all victims of the razor’s edge

All the rules don’t mean a thing
They’re wasted time, the mem’ries sting
Keep your image, plant that smile
Answer questions, don’t let on
Make up stories, all put on
That’s your life—oh—your life is gone

(play the game)

Oh, brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don’t roll over, don’t play dead
We’re all livin’ on the razor’s edge
Oh, brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We’re all victims of the razor’s edge

You see you’re losing yet you still try
The game just a’watches your life go by
You’re playin’ well
You’re playin’—why?

Oooh, play the game...

You see you’re losing yet you still try
The game just a ’watches your life go by
You’re playin’ well
Oh, you’re playin’ the game

Brother to brother, all the blood runs red
Don’t roll over, don’t play dead
We’re all livin on the razor’s edge
Oh, brother to brother, all the blood runs ruby red
We’re all victims of the razor’s edge....
