[Intro]
Alright
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Whoo
[Verse 1]
He had some wild hair and a wild mind
Knew something 'bout everything
A Shaman warrior, a 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
Took a rebel stand
He was
Strong
He was not afraid
[Chorus]
He was the
Edge of the switchblade
The cutting
Edge of the switchblade
The cuttin'
Edge of a switchblade
The cuttin'
Edge of a switchblade
Yeah, yeah
Whoo
C'mon
Whoo, yeah
[Verse 2]
Chicago called, Festival of Life
We drove out and took the stand
Police riot, it was ultra-violence
The shit had hit the fan
Then London called, said
"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
Yeah
'Cause we barely got paid
[Chorus]
Out on the
Edge of a switchblade
Cutting
Edge of a switchblade
On the edge of a switchblade
Cutting
Edge of a switchblade
Awe, yeah, yeah
Whoo, c'mon
Oh yeah
Alright, now let's see some action
Aow
Go, go, go, go, go, go
[Bridge]
Whoo
Whoo
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Heck yeah
[Outro]
"Free your mind and your ass will follow"
It's what I used to hear
Still I wonder just why it is
The truth brings out the fear
So it's possible you can do great things
Just give yourself a break
'Cause on the cutting edge you might get cut
But that's the chance that you'll have to take
You'll be
Outside the mainstream
Like a renegade
Out on the edge of a switchblade
The cutting
Edge of the switchblade
Cutting edge of a switchblade
The cutting
Edge of a switchblade
Awe, yeah, yeah, yeah
Edge of the switchblade
Cutting
The edge of the switchblade
The edge of a switchblade
The edge of a switchblade
Whoo
Aow
