[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Whatever happened to childhood?
We're all Cscared of the kids in our neighborhood
They're not Emsmall, charming and harmless
They're Ama violent bunch of Cbastard little shits
G And anyone who looks younger than me
Makes me Emcheck for my wallet, my Cphone and my keys
And I'm Amtired of being tired out
Always Cbeing on the lookout for thieving gits
[Chorus]
G We're all Cwondering how we Dended up so Amscared
We spent Cten long years teaching Dour kids not to Amcare
And that there's Cno such thing as soDciety anywaG_y D
Em And all the Crich folks act surprised G
When all Csense of community dies G
But you just Cclosed your eyes to the Gother side
AmOf all the things that she did
C DThatcher fucked the kids
[Verse]
G And it Gseems a little bit rich to me
The way the Crich only ever talk of charity
In Emtimes like the seventies, the broken down economy
Meant Ameven the upper Ctier was needing some help G
But as soon as things look brighter
The Emgrin gets wider and the Cgrip gets tighter
And for Amevery teenage tracksuit mugger
There's a Cguy in a suit
Who wouldn't lift a finger for Ganybody else
[Chorus]
We're all Cwondering how we Dended up so Amscared
We spent Cten long years teaching Dour kids not to Amcare
And that there's Cno such thing as soDciety anywaG_y D
Em And all the Crich folks act surprised G
When all Csense of community dies G
But you just Cclosed your eyes to the Gother side
AmOf all the things that she did
C EbThatcher fucked the kids
[Brigde]
G You've got a E5generation raised on the B5welfare state
EnC5joyed all the benefits and G5did just great
But as A5soon as they were settled as the E5richest of the rich
They C5kicked away the ladder, told the rest of us that life's a D5bitch
Ebdim And it's E5no surprise that B5all the fuck-ups
C5Didn't show up until the G5kids had grown up
But when A5no one ever smiles or ever E5helps a stranger
Is C5it any fucking wonder our soD5ciety's in danger of colGlapse?
[Outro]
So Gall the kids are bastards
CDon't blame them, yeah, they learn by example
Blame the Emfolks who sold the future for the highest bid
That's Amright, Thatcher fucked the kids
