Knife's Edge Lyrics - Midnight Oil

On a knife edge razor day 

If you listen long enough they've got nothing to say 

It's a time warp place don't change 

The rhythm of the night, the beating rain 

You move fast to get off of that merry-go-round 

There's one gun, probably more 

And the others are pointing at our back door 

At the best hotel of all 

Put my name on the wall, put my bed on the floor 

You get much less well it seems like more 

Heart's still sore 

Word crimes, bitter lies 

Bitter crimes, government lies
