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?



And we say

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
