Everybody's intent on killing someone

The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run

The bullets scream out from gun to gun

Everybody's intent on being someone

Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep themselves warm

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]

Old friends meet on the edge of town

While the children meet, got the world at their feet

Not knowing what's around the corner

Are we living for an uncertain future?

Down by the corner sits a broken man

Lives by the bottle, swears never again

Lost his money on the dogs and gin
D#
He looks for his supper in garbage can

Right by the river where the body was found
Gm G#
Throwing stones on hallowed ground

Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
