[Verse]
A
Everybody's intent on killing someone
A
The streets are closed and there's a kid on the run
C#m D
The bullets scream out from gun to gun
A
Everybody's intent on being someone
[Verse]
A
The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn
A
Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep themselves warm
C#m D
A child in the arms of a teenage mum
C#m D A G D
Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]
A F
Old friends meet on the edge of town
D A G
Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better
A F
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
D Dm
Not knowing what's around the corner
F G A
Are we living for an uncertain future?
[Verse]
A
Down by the corner sits a broken man
A
Lives by the bottle, swears never again
C#m D
Lost his money on the dogs and gin
A
He looks for his supper in garbage can
[Verse]
A
The kids hang around by the old school ground
A
Right by the river where the body was found
C#m D
Throwing stones on hallowed ground
F#m D A G D
Who will be there, who will be the next victim of the criminal dawn?
[Chorus]
A F
Old friends meet on the edge of town
D A G
Sharing conversation, hoping things'll soon get better
A F
While the children meet, got the world at their feet
D Dm
Not knowing what's around the corner
F G A
Are we living for an uncertain future?
F G A
Can you hear them calling?
