The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home

By Declan Mckenna



I don't know what I want, if I'm completely honest I guess I could start a war, I guess I could sleep on it I don't know what I want, if I'm completely honest I guess I could start a war, I guess I could sleep on it

But hey there kids with guns Your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from I guess it's just bad advice for someone so upstanding So maybe just ask them twice or be a bit demanding

You don't know how to give love to anyone You don't know how to pretend You told your kids that they'd live long forever But the kids don't wanna come home again No the kids don't wanna come home again

Haven't you any shame? Have you got no morals? Teaching them how to aim, No sadness and no sorrow

Well hey there mother mine, Your kids are sick but they're gonna be just fine, I said possibly not if you keep raising them this way, You're just leading them to die, oh your disbelief and dismay,

Well hey there kids with guns, Your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from,

You don't know how to give love to anyone You don't know how to pretend You told your kids that they'd live long forever But the kids don't wanna come home again No the kids don't wanna come home again

You don't know how to give love to anyone You don't know how to pretend You told your kids that they'd live long forever But the kids don't wanna come home again No the kids don't wanna come home again No the kids don't wanna come home again No the kids don't wanna come home
