About The Kids Are All Dying

"The perspective is sort of open to interpretation. I think when I was writing it I was predominantly singing those lyrics to myself. My actual feeling was like, What am I doing? What am I doing singing about all this self-involved stuff about my girlfriend and about my sex life when there’s all this shit happening in the world? On one hand, why am I bothering to sing about this? And then on the other hand, it’s like, the Internet is always going to question you about that stuff anyway. .

The Kids Are All Dying Lyrics

[00:06.34] Bang Bang
[00:07.44] Knocking on my door
[00:09.03] "Do you have a dollar? Would you like to fund a war?
[00:12.12] What's your carbon footprint and could you be doing more?"
[00:15.53] I tried saving the world but then I got bored
[00:19.70] Ka-ching-ching
[00:21.30] What you wanna do?
[00:22.82] Make a lotta money
[00:24.47] Buy a house in Malibu
[00:25.74] Show me if it's funny
[00:27.82] If it's not, you don't need to
[00:29.61] I tried picking a cause
[00:31.95] But I got confused
[00:33.49] How can you sing about love when the kids are all dying?
[00:41.02] How can you sing about drugs? Politicians are lying
[00:48.00] How can you sing about sex when the school is on lockdown, lockdown?
[00:54.33] Now, baby, maybe we're next
[00:57.44] Maybe we're next
[01:00.69] So shut up, the internet is mad
[01:04.34] They say you're problematic and you'd better take it back
[01:07.87] There's nothing you can do that people won't misunderstand
[01:11.26] They won't feel any better 'til you feel bad
[01:15.62] And good God, we never catch a break
[01:18.22] Whatever's on the news, the other side'll call it fake
[01:21.75] I wish I was the Queen, I'd tell 'em all to eat their cake
[01:25.24] Maybe humankind was just God's mistake
[01:29.40] How can you sing about love when the kids are all dying?
[01:36.88] How can you sing about drugs? Politicians are lying
[01:43.79] How can you sing about sex when the school is on lockdown, lockdown?
[01:50.04] Now, baby, maybe we're next
[01:53.00] Maybe we're next
[01:57.00] I know my pool is heated
[02:00.24] Business class is where I'm seated
[02:03.73] And I'm whiter than the ivory on these keys
[02:10.40] I think too much about myself
[02:13.82] Drink my wallet and drive my wealth
[02:17.52] But enough about me
[02:24.90] Bang Bang
[02:26.10] Knocking on my door
[02:28.00] "Do you have a dollar? Would you like to fund a war?
[02:31.15] What's your carbon footprint and could you be doing more?"
[02:34.65] I tried saving the world but then I got bored
