[Verse 1: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Taking over
But they won't be long
They're mesmerized
Skeletons
[Refrain: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to
[Verse 2: 2D & Neneh Cherry]
Drinking out (Push it real)
Pacifier (Push it real, push it)
Vitamin souls (Push it, push it real)
The street desire (Push it real, push it)
Doesn't make sense to (Push it, push it real)
But it won't be long (Push it real, push it)
[Refrain: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to
[Chorus: 2D]
Now they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire
[Verse 3: 2D]
Drinking out
Pacifier
Sinking soul
There you are
Doesn't make sense to
But it won't be long
[Refrain: 2D]
'Cause kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to
[Chorus: 2D]
Now they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire
[Bridge: Neneh Cherry & 2D]
Push it, push it real (It's real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (It's real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real
(Push it, push it, push it real)
[Outro: Neneh Cherry]
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
After day, after night come
Don't, don't kill me now
After night come day
Oh, oh, oh
After day, after night come
Don't, don't kill me now
Oh, oh, oh, oh

A nice boy just decided to pick up a knife and show it to his friends at lunchtime. It’s a very real problem, but I’m not treating it as a problem. It’s part of the brutalisation of a generation that’s going on at the moment.
