Pumped Up Kicks

 

Excerpt from the lyrics:

He found a six-shooter gun

In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things

I don't even know what

But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you

…

You better run, better run faster than my bullet

Run, run, run, run

Are you saying that's not what the song is about? A quick Google search will confirm this for you.

 

From the beginning:

Robert's got a quick hand

He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan

He's got a rolled cigarette

Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah

He found a six-shooter gun

In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things

I don't even know what

But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run outrun my gun

>The original Foster The People version is not about a school shooting.

 

Mark Foster (the song writer) says otherwise:

 

From a radio interview on KROQ:

I kind of wrote the song to bring awareness to the issue. That sort of thing keeps happening more and more in our country; it’s kind of turning into an epidemic. To me the epidemic isn’t gun violence; the epidemic is lack of family, lack of love, and isolation – kids who don’t have anywhere to go or anyone to talk to and that’s what makes them snap.

 

When a 13 or 14-year-old kid brings a gun to school and does something, sure, you blame them for making that choice….. But at the end of the day, he or she is still just a kid and there’s a lot of other things that led up that moment that should have changed.

If you continue to argue this, I won't reply any more since it is smelling like a slide tactic at this point.
