Am
No one wants to listen to the kids these days
           C
Yeah, the fibs these days, yeah
                             Em
They say that we're all the same
                          Dm
But they're the ones to blame
   Am
Speaking of the young as if we killed someone
              C
But we don't need your guns
                          Em
We're all too busy on the run
             Dm
Tryna be someone

Chorus:
     Am
The kids are comin'
     C
The kids are gunnin'
     Em
The kids are runnin'
     Dm
The kids are comin'
     Am
The kids are comin'
     C
The kids are gunnin'
     Em
The kids are runnin'
     Dm
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

 Am
Now you've gone and done it and we
                   D
locked you in the basement
  Am
Marching through the streets is not
                  D
the only way to change things
  Am
Now you've gone and done it and we
                   D
locked you in the basement
  Am
Marching through the streets is not
                  D
the only way to change things

     Am
This never would've happened when I was a boy
     Em
You kids these days and your millennium items
     Am
And your card games
     Em
And your loud music
     Am
And your hula hoops
     Em
And your hopscotch
     Am
And your dungarees
     Em
And your lollipops
     Am                        Em
And your Sony Playstations and your

     Am
The kids are comin'
     C
The kids are gunnin'
     Dm
The kids are runnin'
     Em
The kids are comin'
The kids are comin' for you
