LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE EDGE OF AMERICA/DURAN DURAN

Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my head
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
(Sing it)

Hey boy, give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
Here's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge

Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lost
Recognition never realised
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me here beside the sterile sea
Where is your nation now?
(We say)

Hey boy, give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
Here's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge
