Everybody is a victim of society[00:00:18]

Comedy tragedy vaudeville and variety[00:00:22]

Pantomime players in the grand tradition[00:00:26]

Winners and losers till the intermission[00:00:31]

Girl I know the world's a stage[00:00:39]

That's what the poet said[00:00:40]

But I think our weird relationship[00:00:42]

Is way above my head[00:00:45]

I'll be your Casanova whipping by[00:00:47]

If that's what you desire[00:00:49]

But once I start performing[00:00:51]

I can't easily retire[00:00:52]

I'll swing on a trapeze[00:00:55]

I'll jump through hoops and I'll eat fire[00:00:57]

Be a human cannon ball[00:01:00]

And walk on the high wire[00:01:02]

Put on make-up wear a wig[00:01:04]

I'll be your tragic clown[00:01:06]

But once you've got me up there[00:01:08]

I can't easily come down[00:01:10]

Don't drive me over the edge of it[00:01:13]

Can't you see I've got mixed-up emotions[00:01:18]

Joined the crowd just to be part of it[00:01:22]

That was the start of it[00:01:26]

Oh now I'm over the edge[00:01:28]

Don't drive me over the edge of it[00:01:33]

Oh over the edge[00:01:37]

The world is turning upside-down[00:01:45]

Civilization's dead over the edge[00:01:46]

Economic turmoil now the world is in the red[00:01:49]

Democracy's a shadow of its former glory[00:01:53]

Law and orders broken-down[00:01:58]

End of story[00:02:00]

My next door neighbour's totally snapped[00:02:11]

He's gone over the edge[00:02:12]

He's putting up barbed wire barricades[00:02:14]

Around the garden hedge[00:02:17]

And planting land mines on the lawn[00:02:19]

He's gone barmy[00:02:21]

According to his wife he's formed a secret army[00:02:23]

Ever since he got laid off[00:02:28]

Something inside snapped[00:02:30]

His wife says he's gone 'round the twist[00:02:33]

Now there's no turning back[00:02:34]

All night he waits in the garden shed[00:02:36]

For the enemy to attack[00:02:38]

A suburban vigilante[00:02:40]

Dressed up in a union jack[00:02:41]

He's over the edge oh over the edge[00:02:44]

Don't drive me over the edge of it[00:02:54]

Woman you are gonna drive me[00:03:02]

Totally over the edge[00:03:04]

Is it yes or is it no[00:03:06]

Are you gonna take the pledge[00:03:08]

The pressures of society are getting to your brain[00:03:10]

And forced you to act weird[00:03:15]

And put me under all this strain[00:03:17]

But don't drive me over the edge of it[00:03:19]

Stop while I've still got emotions[00:03:24]

Joined the crowd just to be part of it[00:03:28]

That was the start of it[00:03:32]

Oh over the edge[00:03:34]

Don't drive me over the edge of it[00:03:39]

Oh over the edge[00:03:43]

Don't drive me over the edge of it[00:03:48]

Everybody is a victim of society[00:03:52]

Comedy tragedy[00:03:55]

Vaudeville variety[00:03:57]

Pantomime players in the grand tradition[00:04:00]

Forced into roles that leave them totally driven[00:04:04]

Right over the edge[00:04:11]
