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

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)
