Walking On My Grave

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

There's a new kid on the block

And he's taking my place

Walking on my grave



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

Walking on my grave



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

Walking on my grave
