I cant stay knowing whats going down
I cant stay, darkness on the edge of town
Streetwise kids in an act of defiance
Out to defeat whats already behind us
Rattle and shake their political cans
Giving directions without any plans
Theres a new kid on the block
And hes taking my place
Walking on my grave
I cant stay staring down a .44
I cant stay dying on the killing floor
A man in blue and hes 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.
Theres a new kid on the block
And hes taking my place
Walking on my grave
I cant stay knowing whats going down
I cant stay, darkness on the edge of town
The brains still twitching but the eyes are closed
My best friends dying from an overdose
A red light flares unacounted for
Its happening now and its happened before
Theres a new kid on the block
And hes taken my place
Walking on my grave
