[Verse 1]
G                                         C
Whatever happened to childhood? We're all scared of the kids in our neighbourhood
            Em                                      Am               C              G
They're not small, charming and harmless, they're a violent bunch of bastard little shits
G                                              Em                      C
 And anyone who looks younger than me makes me check for my wallet, my phone and my keys
        Am                               G            Cm                   G
And I'm tired of being tired out, always being on the lookout for thieving gits
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                D           Am
We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
         C                       D               Am
We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
                  C                  D         G  G/F#  Em
And that "there's no such thing as society" anyway
            C                 G               C                  Em
And all the rich folks act surprised when all sense of community dies
             C                       Em            Am
But you just closed your eyes to the other side of all the things that she did
C  D                   G
   Thatcher fucked the kids
 
[Verse 2]
       G                                          C
And it seems a little bit rich to me, the way the rich only ever talk of charity
   Em                                                      Am             C                     G
In times like the seventies, the broken down economy meant even the upper tier was needing some help
       G                                      Em                      C
But as soon as things look brighter, yeah the grin gets wider and the grip gets tighter
        Am                                       G                 Cm                         G
And for every teenage tracksuit mugger there's a guy in a suit who wouldn't lift a finger for anybody else
 
 
[Chorus]
          C                D           Am
We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
         C                       D               G
We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
                  C                  D         G  G/F#  Em
And that "there's no such thing as society" anyway
            C                 G               C                  Em
And all the rich folks act surprised when all sense of community dies
             C                       Em            Am
But you just closed your eyes to the other side of all the things that she did
C  Eb                  G
   Thatcher fucked the kids
 
[Bridge]
             Em                       B
You've got a generation raised on the welfare state
  C                          G
Enjoyed all its benefits and did just great
       Am                               Em
But as soon as they were settled as the richest of the rich
     C                                                         D     B7
They kicked away the ladder, told the rest of us that life's a bitch
         Em               B
And it's no surprise that all the fuck-ups
C                        G
Didn't show up until the kids had grown up
         Am                         Em
But when no one ever smiles or ever helps a stranger
      C                        D                       G
Is it any fucking wonder our society's in danger of collapse?
 
[Outro]
   G
So all the kids are bastards
    C
But don't blame them, yeah, they learn by example
          Em
Blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid
       A      N.C.                     F   C  G
That's right, Thatcher fucked the kids
