‘Stupid Children’ is a sharp, poetic commentary on collective human folly, targeting the destructive tendencies of jingoism, blind optimism, and the absurdity of land ownership, with a particular lens on the recklessness of young men.

Listen

Slow-burn tension finally erupts in the song’s centrepiece: an electric guitar solo that is pure, unleashed anger.
Yet, it is not chaotic noise; it is a perfectly sculpted, melodic phrase that feels both cathartic and inevitable.
It is the sound of a formidable guitarist saying everything that needs to be said without a single word.

Watch

Although many people like to think of themselves as clever, wise, insightful etc. We are, in fact, all Stupid Children. We all act like Stupid Children but the worst group of all are young men. So many problems in the world are caused by young men around ‘sixteen to thirty-five’. When it’s not them causing the problems, they are the tools used by despots and idiot leaders to do their bidding. This is one of the focuses of Stupid Children. Others include, jingoism, misplaced optimism and the ridiculous concept of land ownership.
