Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't stay knowing what's going down I can't stay, darkness on the edge of town 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 [Chorus] There's a new kid on the block And he's taking my place Walking on my grave [Verse 2] 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 LSD [Chorus] There's a new kid on the block And he's taking my place Walking on my grave [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] There's a new kid on the block And he's taking my place Walking on my grave [Outro] Walking on my grave Walking on my grave Walking on my grave Walking on my grave
