"I Kill Children" is the ninth song on the Dead Kennedys album Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. It is sung from the first person perspective of an unnamed murderer of children. It satirizes America's twin obsessions with extreme violence and conservatism.[1] Jello Biafra had said on his spoken word tours that he wrote the song when he was 19 years old after thinking about how and why people became serial killers, and actually considers it one of his weakest songs.
