    Declan McKenna - The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home (Lyrics)
    I don't know what I want
    If I'm completely honest
    I guess I could start a war
    I guess I could sleep on it
    I don't know what I want
    If I'm completely honest
    I guess I could start a war
    I guess I could sleep on it
    But hey there kids with guns your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from
    I guess it's just bad advice for
    Someone so upstanding
    So maybe just ask them twice or
    Be a bit demanding
    You don't know how to give love to anyone
    You don't know how to pretend
    You told your kids that they'd live long forever
    But the kids don't wanna come home again
    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 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
    But hey there kids with guns your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from
    You don't know how to give love to anyone
    You don't know how to pretend
    You told your kids that they'd live long forever
    But the kids don't wanna come home again
    No the kids don't wanna come home again
    You don't know how to give love to anyone
    You don't know how to pretend
    You told your kids that they'd live long forever
    But the kids don't wanna come home again
    No the kids don't wanna come home again
    No the kids don't wanna come home again
    No the kids don't wanna come home

      I’m afraid, Silvia, that I think there will always be people who want to be unkind and take your freedom away. But there’s hope. In YOU. Act the way you want people to BE and give them a good example to aspire to. If you focus on what you can give, rather than what to expect or demand, the world will fall into place around you.

      Ukiyo Every preceding generation has thought the exact same way. Ours however has never before seen instant global communication with nearly anyone. You seek communities that support your beliefs and that strengthens your worldview. But you neglect other communities, say neo nazis, supremacists, pedos, or right wings. You will grow up like your parents and get a normal job and your kids will think their generation will break the mold but you'll be wise enough to understand things don't change, it's a cycle

      My son is 15 and he just posted this song on his Instagram. Makes me so sad to think that he and his generation might feel this way. But it’s totally understandable. All I can say is that my generation feel the same, underneath all the bravado. The only difference is that we got used to the feeling, internalised it and finally fell into line in exasperated resignation. We wanted your world to be happier and more secure than it is. And our lives haven’t been as good as you may think. Pushing back against those who decide the world is exhausting and eventually we realised that we needed to just give up and focus on ourselves.

    • @andylewis7360
      @andylewis7360 5 років тому +19

      Fact is, living in the Western World, we’re incredibly lucky, compared to 99% of mankind. We don’t live under constant threat of death. We don’t have to suffer to get food or shelter and we are free to express our opinions. We should feel very lucky and never forget it because all that COULD be snatched away without notice.

    • @andylewis7360
      @andylewis7360 5 років тому +32

      So. What’s the answer? Nobody knows what’s right for you. We think we know the mistakes we made and how we’d have lived our lives differently. And that’s what’s behind the advice we give. It may not be good advice. We just don’t know. But here’s what I do know: You should look after yourself. Surround yourself with ONLY those who nourish you. And DO things that, you are SURE are positive. Avoid ideologies because there isn’t one that has all the answers. But find out all you can about how the world works. Don’t let people TELL you. Find out for yourself. And the first step is to travel. Visit other countries. Perhaps those where you’ll feel uncomfortable. You’ll learn the most there.
      For me, Jordan Peterson has been a revelation, although I’m aware that he’s seen as something of a meme. Would it do you any harm if you listened to him?

    this makes me wanna just change the world and i want declan to lead us in making it better. i wish life could be so much simpler. i wish we could have a leader that everyone loves and is a normal person just trying to make the world a better place. i wish that people could just be kind, loving and accepting to everyone and that we could all just live in harmony as one big family appreciating and making the most of the time we have on earth. it just pisses me off that some people ruin that. like why cant u just be a nice person and just love?

    with the older generation treating us like infants, then telling us to grow up, forcing us to mature and then again telling us we don’t have the capability of making good decisions because we are younger.... god knows where we will end up. but i have hope, still.
