Living on the edge  Aerosmith

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

We're living on the edge 
We're living on the edge
We're living on the edge
We're living on the edge

There's something wrong with the world today
The light-bulb's getting dimmed
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin
Then mister, you're a better man than I

*Living on the edge
You can't help yourself from falling
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself from falling
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself from falling
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself from falling

Tell me what you think about our situation
Complication - aggravation is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is falling
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling back again
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell'em no
Or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on (*)
活在刀口上  史密斯飛船合唱團

今天這個世界有些不對勁
我不知道是什麼問題
我們的雙眼有點毛病
我們正在用另一種方法看世界
上帝知道不是他那種方法
這一點都不令人驚訝

我們都活在刀口上
我們都活在刀口上
我們都活在刀口上
我們都活在刀口上

今天這個世界有些不對勁
燈泡逐漸變暗
天空降下災難
如果你只看到膚色就能判斷誰是智者
先生,你實在比我好得太多

我們都活在刀口上
你不能阻止你自己墮落
活在刀口上
你連自己都救不了
活在刀口上
你不能阻止你自己墮落
活在刀口上
你連自己都救不了

告訴我,你覺得我們的處境如何?
複雜化、惡化........正影響著你
如果一個小娃兒告訴你天要塌下來了
即使不是這樣,你還會再爬回家嗎?
朋友,我打賭你會
一而再,再而三......

今天,這個世界對有些事情習以為常
儘管每個人都知道那是錯的
但我們可以對他們說:「不!」
或者,就隨它去!
但我寧可墨守成規
