[00:18.35] Everybody is a victim of society
[00:22.26] Comedy, tragedy, vaudeville and variety
[00:26.20] Pantomime players in the grand tradition
[00:30.25]
[00:31.12] Winners and losers till the intermission
[00:35.30]
[00:39.05] Girl, I the know world's a stage
[00:40.71] That's what the poet said
[00:42.77] But I think our weird relationship
[00:45.88] Is way above my head
[00:47.19] I'll be your Casanova whipping by
[00:49.31] If that's what you desire
[00:51.56] But once I start performing
[00:52.68] I can't easily retire
[00:55.86] I'll swing on a trapeze
[00:57.30] I'll jump through hoops, and I'll eat fire
[01:00.17] Be a human cannon ball
[01:02.60] And walk on the high wire
[01:04.79] Put on make-up, wear a wig
[01:06.47] I'll be your tragic clown
[01:08.67] But once you've got me up there
[01:10.40] I can't easily come down
[01:13.72] Don't drive me over the edge of it
[01:17.45]
[01:18.02] Can't you see I've got mixed-up emotions
[01:21.58]
[01:22.26] Joined the crowd just to be part of it
[01:26.14] That was the start of it
[01:28.14] Oh, now I'm over the edge
[01:32.63]
[01:33.19] drive me over the edge of it
[01:36.56]
[01:37.38] Oh, over the edge
[01:41.31]
[01:45.18] The world is turning upside-down
[01:46.86] Civilization's dead, over the edge
[01:49.45] Economic turmoil, now the world is in the red
[01:53.83] Democracy's a shadow of its former glory
[01:58.09] Law and orders broken-down
[02:00.15] End of story
[02:02.96]
[02:11.29] My next door neighbour's totally snapped
[02:12.92] He's gone over the edge
[02:14.91] He's putting up barbed wire barricades
[02:17.16] Around the garden hedge
[02:19.36] And planting land mines on the lawn
[02:21.60] He's gone barmy
[02:23.73] According to his wife, he's formed a secret army
[02:28.41] Ever since he got laid off
[02:30.21] Something inside snapped
[02:30.98]
[02:33.02] His wife says he's gone 'round the twist
[02:34.64] Now there's no turning back
[02:36.51] All night he waits in the garden shed
[02:38.45] For the enemy to attack
[02:40.70] A suburban vigilante
[02:41.45] Dressed up in a union jack
[02:44.64] He's over the oh, edge, over the edge
[02:49.90]
[02:54.40] Don't drive me over the edge of it
[02:58.14]
[03:02.49] Woman, you are gonna drive me
[03:04.55] Totally over the edge
[03:06.55] Is it yes or is it no
[03:08.57] Are you gonna take the pledge
[03:10.81] The pressures of society are getting to your brain
[03:15.18] And forced you to act weird
[03:17.11] And put me under all this strain
[03:19.93] But don't drive me over the edge of it
[03:24.23] Stop while I've still got emotions
[03:27.17]
[03:28.87] Joined the crowd, just to be part of it
[03:32.66] That was the start of it
[03:34.60] Oh, over the edge
[03:39.05]
[03:39.93] Don't drive me over the edge of it
[03:43.16] Oh, over the edge
[03:48.05] Don't drive me over the edge of it
[03:51.36]
[03:52.29] Everybody is a victim of society
[03:55.20]
[03:55.75] Comedy, tragedy
[03:57.83] Vaudeville, variety
[04:00.28] Pantomime players in the grand tradition
[04:04.79] Forced into roles that leave them totally driven
[04:08.73]
[04:11.43] Right over the edge
