“LIVIN´ON THE EDGE” AEROSMITH

There's somethin' wrong

with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It shore ain't no surprise

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong
with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

[Chorus:]
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think
about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you
that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you
still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think
about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you
that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you
still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or
we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on
[Chorus]

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'

The stories will leave you in stitches and the songs will keep playing in your head. His colorful outfits, colorful facial hair and colorful wit will hook you right from the start.

The song received much critical acclaim and won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the year 1993. The popular video for the song earned the band a Viewer's Choice award at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards.

What the Critics Say

Get a Grip turned out to be one of Aerosmith's most contrived and contemptible records, but fans never would have known from advance EP Livin' on the Edge, which whips out two extra, exceptional treats. First, two stripped-down demos of the apocalyptic, Yardbirds-referencing "Livin' on the Edge" bring out the quintet's individual contributions much clearer than the glossed-over album version. And the dilapidating finale fits the song better as well.

OUR OPINION

We decide to choose this song because we can understand many things that are wrong in the world, and bring some possibilities that not are explicit in the song, to solve these big problems. In the same way with the lyric we can see some of the reasons of why the world has these changes. We Think that It´s a good song that represent many feelings of the modern society, for example don’t see beyond of the reality, that have like consequence that when people solve problems don’t bring the best solution. On the other hand we need to learn to understand the other people and their beliefs, and the song show the importance of this aspect. Like a consequence of this discrimination, we can see many wars in the world for this reason, then is very important to learn to accept the other people with their beliefs and probably, we can life in peace and in a better world. Furthermore we need to fight with the racism, other method to discriminate, because in some cases we offend people without realizing, and this probable cause that the world doesn’t evolucionate at maximum. To conclude we need to understand some things of the world, and learn to tolerate to all the people, and if we can do that, we can life in a better world.

Could celebrities or Public Figures, escape from the host of media?

Since 50’s, when Elvis Prestley became a huge star, tabloids and news were sold out, due to the fact that people want to know everything about Hollywood or Music Stars. After The Beatles and Frank Sinatra, who symbolize the highest rank of idolatry, this kind of journalism became famous in the Anglo-Saxon culture, and with time all over the world.

Millions of tabloids and magazines are sold around the world in one month. First of all, the greatest companies who are the owners of magazines and tabloids expend a lot of time and huge quantities of money having photographers called “paparazzies” and journalists who create their owners news. This is an enormous business who gave their owners huge earnings. Those companies focus in the market of rumors and scandals of celebrities, and home women and maids love that.

On the other hand, celebrities and public figures are the victims of this kind of journalism. Firstly, tabloids invent news about celebrities, these affirmations are lies. These classes of things make that customers waste their money and damage the image of public figures. Nevertheless, they make a great and free publicity for be a cover of these magazines. Stars of entertainment have been to sue these companies for negative aspect that tabloids mention in articles.

It’s important to result, that in one way or other companies and public figures are taken advantage of this. And customers are the guilty of this attention that stars have in these times.
