    The issue of youth violence is a matter close to the group. Lead singer and writer in the band Mark Foster was bullied in high school, while bassist Cubbie Fink has a cousin who survived the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999. Fink said of his cousin's experience, "She was actually in the library when everything went down, so I actually flew out to be with her the day after it happened and experienced the trauma surrounding it and saw how affected she was by it. She is as close as a sister, so obviously, it affected me deeply. So to be able to have a song to create a platform to talk about this stuff has been good for us."
    Many have written letters to Foster's record label and called radio stations to complain that the song was glorifying school shootings. He explained, "The song is not about condoning violence at all. It's the complete opposite. The song is an amazing platform to have a conversation with your kids about something that shouldn't be ignored, to talk about it in a loving way."

It is a beautiful tribute, though very somber. Brought me back to that time for sure.

When this tragedy happened it was so horrific to read about it and see those scenes take place before our very eyes, for all of us everywhere. I can't imagine how hard it was for you and your community as a whole. Though it's hard to visit the memorial it's good it's there to keep the memory of those killed alive. It helps the young ones who survived this tragedy honor their classmates too which they deserve. These survivors had to deal with extreme trauma and injuries and still have to deal with the aftermath everyday. It is so important that the topic of youth violence and school shootings continue to be discussed. Thank you for sharing your experience. It means alot. I hope you are okay. Take care.

    here are the words...
    Robert's got a quick hand
    He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan
    He's got a rolled cigarette
    Hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid
    Yeah found a six shooter gun
    In his dad's closet, oh in 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'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    Daddy works a long day
    He be coming home late, and he's coming home late
    And he's bringing me a surprise
    'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice
    I've waited for a long time
    Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
    I reason with my cigarette
    And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun

    Written and sung from the first person perspective of a bullied kid, who becomes a kid who kills, a school shooter who blows away the kids; the kids with their "pumped up kicks"- AKA the kids run making their kicks pump up and down cause they're running from the bullets. Brilliant doesn't even begin to describe this song I still love. Even after all these years.

    It's about a school shooter and it was purposely made to sound happy and vague. It's about how nowadays school shootings just seem normal, like the nation mourns for two weeks, forgets and it happens again and again and nothing is done to put an end to it. An even earlier song to check out on the same subject is I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats.

    I remember the first time my daughter came home from school, she said mom I want you to hear a song, she brought her friend in to the house who played this song and they both looked at each other and when they looked at me they were both crying, because they didn’t think that I would hear the words underneath the dance track. I instantly knew that this song was about a school shooting. This was after Columbine. My daughter asked me mom is it going to always be this way. I had no honest answer for her, now her daughter is 19 and has like many other young children growing up as this is their reality. The pumped up kicks represents the wealthy children, the ones who tend to bully or look down on others.

But your reaction when the chorus hit the first time, then rewinding it back a second time, was just PERFECT - clearly stuck between the light-hearted fun sound vs. those lyrics, and your face the whole time ... 🤣🤣🤣

    As someone who writes music, this is one of my favourite tricks to see a songwriter pull - upbeat tune with a dark story in the lyrics. Love seeing people caught off guard. It's ironic, it also kinda says - look at our happy carefree teen life, oh there's actually a horror show going on behind the curtain of social media feeds and what adults think life is like for teens, especially those who live in fear of these shootings. It's darkly tongue-in-.cheek.
