(Fred Cole)
Em G D Em G D I can't stay knowing what's going down Em G D Em G D I can't stay, darkness on the edge of town Em G D Streetwise kids in an act of defiance Out to defeat what's already behind us Rattle and shake their political cans Giving directions without any plans Em G There's a new kid on the block D And he's taking my place Chorus: Walking on my grave +INTRO (2x) I can't stay staring down a .44 I can't stay dying on the killing floor A man in blue and he's drawing a gun A child in the shadows too scared to run Crack on the mirror of a teenage dream Like a lost generation on l.s.d. There's a new kid on the block And he's taking my place Chorus I can't stay knowing what's going down I can't stay, darkness on the edge of town The brain's still twitching but the eyes are closed My best friends dying from an overdose A red light flares unacounted for It's happening now and it's happened before There's a new kid on the block And he's taken my place Chorus (4x)
