Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Taking over
But it won't be long
They're mesmerized
Skeletons
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to
Drinking out (push it real, push it)
Pacifier (push it real, push it)
Vitamin souls (push it real, push it)
The street desire (push it real, push it)
Didn't mean to (push it real, push it)
But it won't be long (push it real, push it)
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to
And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire
It's all desire
It's all desire
Drinking out
Pacifier
Sinking soul
There you are
Doesn't make side to
But it won't be long
'Cause kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to
And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire
It's all desire
It's all desire
Push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real, push it real
Push it, push it, push it real
Kids with guns
Taking over
But it won't be long
They're mesmerized
Skeletons
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to
Drinking out (push it real, push it)
Pacifier (push it real, push it)
Vitamin souls (push it real, push it)
The street desire (push it real, push it)
Didn't mean to (push it real, push it)
But it won't be long (push it real, push it)
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to
And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire
It's all desire
It's all desire
Drinking out
Pacifier
Sinking soul
There you are
Doesn't make side to
But it won't be long

Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters

Kids with guns
- Sounds like its about soldiers. The US army is mostly just 18 yr old kids with guns.
Mesmerized skeletons
- Seems to back up the last statement... but i'll get to that in a second.
Turning us into monsters
Turnin us into fire
Turning us into monsters
But its all desire
- The sounds like the pretext for war. Recruiting these kids on a lie and a "cause". Taking them far away and making them into killers. But it's not a just cause, its all desire. Monsters are the killers, fire is the vengence... but its all for greed (desire).
The mesmerized skeletons is about these poor kids with guns who are convinced that they're going to war for a noble reason but they're just being sent to kill and die for other people's desires and gains.
Easy does it. Easy does it.
Think of something to say no to.
- Dont go off and kill, think of why and say no.

I'll try, but I have a feeling i may be way off base =^\
Its a song about kids with guns and how their ruining society, "turning us into monsters"...
The end =^(
children are sponges. they learn what we teach them.
it is our fault as the older generation.
so if anything we are ruining society with guns and shit because we are teaching the younger generation that it is okay to use guns.
look at it this way, water guns are fun as fuck.
it teaches kids that guns are cool as fuck.
G.I Joe is a bad ass show.
but it shows children that we must destroy the enemy.
is that what we want kids to learn.
another aspect to look at it is that we are the children with guns.
recklessly shooting and killing with no regard... as though we never had parents to teach us right from wrong.
have you ever watch television nowadays.
not even CNN or anyother news channel.
just cartoons alone teach kids it's okay to have guns.
we look at countries in the middle east or africa like they are bad people for making their kids into CRS' but in Western Culture all we do is pollute our kids minds with tv and it has the same effect as actually given your kid a gun.
That´s exactly what I think the song is about.
That´s exactly what I think the song is about.
"They're mesmerised
Skeletons"
"And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
turning us into monsters"
The kids cannot escape, they are threatened to be killed if they do. Some manage to, thankfully.

In addition to the above "Is she real" refers to lady liberty
p.s. If anyone is interested in listening to some of that interview the website is abc.net.au/triplej/2004/listen/
look for Gorillaz-Part One and Gorillaz-Part Two, but the interview is only what wasn't aired on the show so the part where he says, and i quote "i'ts about Iraq" isn't on there. If you want the rest of the interview you'll have to download this weeks show, but it only stays on for a week, so you may be too late.
I also loved the use of the word "pacifier", because it meant both "a peace maker" and "a device that a child uses to suck on"
