“Kids With Guns” was released as the fourth and final single from "Demon Days". It features guest vocals from Swedish singer-songwriter/rapper Neneh Cherry. The song is an indictment of children’s obsession with violence, particularly regarding the lifestyles glamorized by popular media which corrupts the youth.
The lyrics were inspired by a boy in Damon Albarn’s daughter’s class who got in trouble for coming to school with a knife.
This song could also be subtly referencing Noodle’s childhood as a super soldier in Japan; at this point, she had remembered her past, and all the music to Demon Days was written by Noodle."
"'A nice boy just decided to pick up a knife and show it to his friends at lunchtime. It’s a very real problem, but I’m not treating it as a problem. It’s part of the brutalization of a generation that’s going on at the moment.'"
