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

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

Chorus:
 C          G          D             Em
You don't know how to give love to anyone
 C              G       D
You don't know how to pretend
 C             G                 D        Em
You told your kids that they'd live long forever
C                              G     D
But the kids don't wanna come home again
C                              G    D
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 o' 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

Chorus - x2

No, the kids don't wanna come home again
No, the kids don't wanna come home
