No one wants to listen to the kids these days

The fibs these days

They say that we’re all the same

But they’re the ones to blame

Speaking of the young as if we killed someone

But we don’t need your guns

We’re all too busy on the run

Tryna be someone

[Chorus]

The kids are comin’

The kids are gunnin’

The kids are runnin’

The kids are comin’ for you

No one seems to understand the kids these days

And why we live this way

We got to clean up the mess you’ve made

Still you don’t wanna change

You create the law but can’t control our thoughts

And no, we won’t be bought

We don’t just protest for the fun

We’re here to get it done

[Chorus]

Now you’ve gone and done it and we locked you in the basement

Marching through the streets is not the only way to change things

This never would’ve happened when I was a boy

You kids these days and your millennium items

And your card games

And your loud music

And your hula hoops

And your hopscotch

And your dungarees

And your lollipops

And your Sony Playstations and your ...
