TEETH ON EDGE LYRICS! Not exactly Top 40 material, but hey! Teeth on Edge
Hey U, sir! What are U willin' to do? How long are U willin' to die? Why can't we sit here today and give thought to each other? 4 we've been down this road many times since before - Blood red in scope, global rope-a-dope Each death a curse, each curse a cry, each cry one without sound - Martyrs on both sides do nothin' to command a crown - CHORUS Why are u're teeth on edge? 2 what flag have U made a pledge? Citizens of no-nothin' nations fallin' over themselves - 2 bring knives to throats of brothers Mothers no longer mothers - Why are u're teeth on edge? Check this! Do U wanna be honest, or do U wanna win? We've bitten the apple to shrink within our skins What prospers a man to win the world but lose his soul? Men becomin' animals, pearly whites grinning from sun scorched skulls Dig! CHORUS Why are u're teeth on edge? The human race is dancing on a crumblin' ledge? Taken' the foolish things and makin' them wise - 2 trade the TRUTH for a lie One vicious slander followed by a dying sigh Why are u're teeth on edge? Do U hear me now? CHORUS AND CODA Why are u're teeth on edge? Oh, we have much to explain! This dyin' Earth will be rebuilt to shine Tell me this! Why are u're teeth on edge? But until then we rot and we sin - We take and not give - We don't have a clue what's beauty can be - We've lost all sense of joy and symmetry - We've joined a roarin' call for our own demise - We look in the mirror, preen, but secretly despise - We bow before a tombstone - And feast with the Lord of the Flies The face that we see, a soul even more corrupt - Every man culpable, from King to Pauper too - From Adam to me, every brithright up to U! Black , white, Puerto Rican, every man just a' reekin' So, why are u're teeth on edge? | |

Those are some damn good lyrics, actually -- including many biblical references and allusions. And current with the times. Someone knows their stuff. I wonder where these come from, especially since there are a few grammatical and spelling errors -- makes me wonder if these were typed out from someone who actually heard the song? What song, and by who? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if these were by Prince. Good job!

"Men becomin' animals, pearly whites grinning from sun scorched skulls"...it's not a terrible imitation of prince, but that's so not his style. I'll be the first to offer my ass for a spankin' if I'm wrong, but I smell BS. | |

Wonder who wrote it? | |

Oh please! This line alone tells you Prince did not write or record this mess:
Black , white, Puerto Rican, every man just a' reekin' | |

So, is "Teeth on Edge" even a real song or is the title and song fake? I know these lyrics probably aren't wrote by prince. | |

These lyrics totally sound like Prince has written them, my compliments! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |
