Chords for Declan McKenna - The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home (Official Video)

[N] _ [G] _ _ [A] I feel like our [G] generation is lost.
I feel like we don't know where we're heading.
_ _ What makes me most [Em] uncertain about the future is having to carve my way in a world that's been decided for me by people who don't know [Bb] me.
A lot of things [G] make me angry.
Racism, homophobia, sexism, bullying.
_ _ I think so much has changed with our [Em] generation. _ _ _
[E] I think [Gb] the way we view ourselves is very different to the way other [G] people view us.
It's not apathy, it's just being disillusioned. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
I don't know where I'd go [G] or I guess [C] I could [G] sleep on it.
But [D] hey, there are kids who'd come, [C] their names gone plain, but they don't know where to [G] come from.
I guess [C] it's just bad advice [G] for someone [C] so _ _ [G] upstanding.
So maybe [C] just ask and play [G] it soft.
Be a bit _ _ [C] demanding.
You [G] don't know [D] how to give [Em] love to [C] anyone.
You don't [G] know how to [D]
pretend.
_ [C] You tore your [D] kids and you'd live [Em] long forever, [C] but the kids don't want to [G] come home _ [D] _ again. _ _
_ No, [C] the kids don't want to [G] come home _ _ [D] _ again. _ _
Haven't _ [G] _ _ _ [C] you any shame?
[G] _ _ Have you [C] got no _ [G] morals?
_ Teaching [C] them how to [G] handle _ sadness [C]
and love sorrow.
[D] Hey there, mother of mine, [C] your kids are sick but they're gonna be [G] just fine.
I [C] said possibly [G] not if you keep [C] raising them this [G] way.
You're just [C] leaving them to die [G] of your [C] disbelief and _ [D] dismay.
Hey there, kids who'd come, [C] their names gone plain, but they don't know where to [G] come from. _ _
_ _ _ [C] You [G] don't know how [D] to give [Em] love to [C] anyone.
You don't know [G] how to [D]
pretend.
_ [C] You tore your [G] kids and [D] you'd live [Em] long forever, [C] but the kids don't want to come [G] home _ [D] _ again. _ _
_ No, [C] the kids don't want to [G] come home _ [D] _ again. _ _
_ _ _ [C] We've kind of gone a [G] few steps back recently.
[D] We've kind of been conditioned to say all these gross and horrible things and so on,
but now it's [C] just like, OK, I'm the mother of one.
This is the world I'm living in.
This is the world I'm going to [D] grow up in.
This is the world that I could be bringing children into, and this is how it is.
[C] It's only just that there's an abundance [G] of confusion and information that [D] they spout out at us.
I'll, like, do something about this.
_ [C] We don't understand that we have [G] so much power in social media,
and that we can really change [D] online and educate ourselves. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] This means a lot to us, and _
[G] that's the stuff.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ You [G] don't know how [D] to give love to [C] anyone.
You don't know [G] how to [D]
pretend.
You _ _ toy on [G] the [D] executive, not [Em] on the level, [C] but the kids don't want to come [G] home _ _ _ [D] _ again. _
_ No, [C] the kids don't _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] want to come home again. _ _
_ _ [C] _ If _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ me and my friends were in charge of the world,
I think we'd just kind of [Bb] make it illegal to [C] be an arsehole.
_ Just be nice. _ _ _ _
