The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home

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

But 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
