Edge of the Switchblade Lyrics & Tabs by Wayne Kramer
Edge of the Switchblade
guitar chords lyrics
He had some wild hair and a wild mind
Knew something about everything
Shaman warrior poet priest
Who loved to dance and sing.
He could rock the house with style and nerve
Knew when to take a chance
A mainline mellow who saw the future
And took a rebel stance.
He was strong, he was not afraid
He was the edge of the switchblade
Cutting edge of the switchblade
Edge of the switchblade.
Chicago called, the festival of life
We drove out and took the stand
Police riot ultra violence
Chicago called, the festival of life
We drove out and took the stand
Police riot ultra violence
The shit had hit the fan.
London called, come on over
Bring your message across the sea
We took our slams, kicked out the jams
Set some young minds free.
It was all for the music, we barely got paid
We were the edge of the switchblade
Cutting edge on the switchblade
Edge of the switchblade.
Free your mind and ass will follow
Is what I used to hear
Still I wonder why it is
The truth brings out the fear
Its possible you can do great things
So give yourself a break
On the cutting edge, you might get cut
Thats a chance you have to take.
Youll be outside the mainstream, like a renegade
Youll be the edge of the switchblade
Cutting edge on a switchblade
Edge of the switchblade.
