I Kill Children

Dead Kennedys

God told me to skin you alive

I kill children
I love to see them die
I kill children
And make their mamas cry
Crush 'em under my car
I want to hear them scream
Feed 'em poison candy
Spoil their Halloween

So you're in the kids' ward
You're in there 'cause you're ill
How about some Pavulon so I can see you chill
Time to hit the school bus
I think I'll shoot out the tires
Offer them a helping hand of open telephone wires

Ever wanted to die?
Of course you have
But I won't till I get my revenge
Been fucked far, far too many ways
I don't want to see people any more
Things I never ever saw before
Make me see them for the shit they are
Take as many as I can away with me
Anyone can be king for a day

So I kill children
I love to see them die
I kill children
And make their mamas cry
I kill children
I bang their heads in doors
I kill children
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Can hardly wait for yours
Yours

    hahaha great song... i love it at the beginning... God told me to skin you alive! it reminds me of when one of my friends and his friend were at a stoplight (they have "weird" hair... one a mohawk other at the time liberty spikes) and kids in another car were staring at them so one of them said out the window I EAT CHILDREN and the kids started crying and screaming.... HAHAHHA

    So...I dropped out of college a year ago, became a babysitter. Earned ten bucks and hour babysitting all day for one girl. Not bad, but I became aggravated and annoyed all the time, because getting treated like shit by an eight year old that can't read makes you a bit wacko. So I started listening to punk rock, heard this song and laughed like hell. Then I realized I seriously did want to bash this kid's head in a door. So I quit and went back to school. So in a weird way, I guess I can thank the Dead Kennedys for getting me back to the straight and narrow.

    This guy has been really fucked over by people so decides to take his revenge out on their children, sorta Freddy Krugaresk. The guy also desperatly wants attention and fame "gunna be king for a day".

    the song is about what makes a serial killer or someone who kills children and how society affects these type of people and can even make a person kill a child. pretty much the whole song is said in this one line: "Anyone can be king for a day..." as that is the type of attitude some feel when they commit these horrible acts. media almost makes serial killers famous and sadly some seek attention so much and want to be known so badly that they kill people...even children.

    My god, you people are thinking way too much into this. I love all the "society sucks, man, and it makes you want to kill people and strangle kids" type comments. I think the intent of this song is completely satirical, aimed towards those who would take it far too seriously.
