Thatcher Fucked the Kids Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whatever happened to childhood?
We're all [Csus2]scared of the kids
[C]in our neighborhood
[Csus2]They're not small,[Em]
charming and harmless
They're a vi[A]olent bunch of [Csus2]bas
tard [D]little [G]shits
And anyone who looks
younger than me
Makes me [Csus2]check for my wallet,
[C]and my phone and my key[Csus2]s
And I'm [Em]tired of being tired out
Always [A]being on the lookout
[Csus2]for thiev[D]ing gits[G]

[Verse 2]
We're all [Csus2]wondering how we
[D]ended up so [Am]scared
We spent [Csus2]ten long years
[D]teaching our kids not to [Am]care
And that there's [Csus2]no such thing
as [D]so ciety [Am]any way
And all the [Csus2]rich folks act surpris[G]ed
When all [Csus2]sense of community die[G]s
But you just [Csus2]closed your
eyes to the [G]other side
Of [A]all the things that she [Csus2]did
[D]Thatcher fucked the kid[G]s

[Verse 3]
[G]And it seems a little bit rich to me
The way the [Csus2]rich only
ever [C]talk of charity
[Csus2]In times lik[Em]e the seventies,
the broken down economy
Meant [A]even the upper [Csus2]tier
was [D]needing some [G]help
But as soon as things look brighter
Yeah the [Csus2]grin gets wider and[C]
the grip gets tighter
[Csus2]And for every[Em] teenage
tracksuit mugger
There's a [A]guy in a suit who wouldn't lift
[Csus2]a finger [D]for anybody[G] else

[Verse 4]
We're all [Csus2]wondering how we
[D]ended up so [Am]scared
We spent [Csus2]ten long years
[D]teaching our kids not to [Am]care
And that there's [Csus2]no such thing
as [D]so ciety [Am]any way
And all [Csus2]the rich folks act sur[G]prised
When all [Csus2]sense of community die[G]s
But you just [Csus2]close your
eyes to the [G]other side
Of [A]all the things that she [Csus2]did
[D]Thatcher fucked the kid[G]s

[Verse 5]
You've got a [Em]generation
raised on [B]the welfare state
En[Csus2]joyed all it's benefits
and [G]did just great
But as [Am]soon as they were settled
as the [Em]richest of the rich
They [Csus2]kicked away the ladder,
told the rest of us that life's a bitch
[D]

[Verse 6]
And it's [Em]no surprise that
[B]all the fuck-ups
Didn't Did[Csus2]n't show up
until the [G]kids had grown up
But [Am]when no one ever smiles
or ever [Em]helps a stranger
Is [Csus2]it any fu[C]cking wonder ou[D]r
society's in danger of col[G]lapse?

[Verse 7]
So [G]all the kids are bastards
But [Csus2]don't bla[C]me them, yeah,
they [F]learn by [C]example
Blame the [Em]folks who sold the
future for the highest bid
That's [A]right, [C]Thatcher [D]fucked the kid[G]s
