[English]

Keep smiling, they say

Bite your tongue, not today

It's real, you can't deny it

Don't run, don't hide behind it

Don't speak, hold your breath

Never feel at your best

Don't run, don't hide behind it

Stand up and shout about it

I'll build it up and I'll tear it down

I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound

I do what I want, I like what I like

'Cause only I can fight my own fight

Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead

And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge

Take it all in your stride

Living fast through the night

It's real, don't try to fight it

Then run and hide behind it

Hey, maybe they're right

Living life on the edge

Stay strong and never doubt it

Stand up and shout about it, shout about it

I'll build it up and I'll tear it down

I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound

I do what I want, I like what I like

'Cause only I can fight my own fight

Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead

And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge

I'm living on the edge, I'm living on the edge

I'm living on the edge, I'm living on the edge

I'll build it up and I'll tear it down

I'll shout from the roof 'til I can't make a sound

I do what I want, I like what I like

'Cause only I can fight my own fight

Don't think I'm crazy, but, baby, I'm always a step ahead

And you can hate me, but, baby, I'm living on the edge
