The entire album is worth listening to. I thought pumped up kicks was one of the lower end songs of the album.

Ever read the words or understood the meaning to/of the song?

I've been listening to it for months and love it, but today finally broke down and looked up the lyrics. Was a little taken aback.

Possibly one of the most annoying, overplayed songs in the last few years.

It's a song that is well over a year old maybe two, but it's about school shootings.

Lyrics to Pumped Up Kicks :
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 he found a six-shooter gun.
In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things,
and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you,
yeah he's coming for you.

[Chorus x2:]
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'll be coming home late,
yeah 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.

[Chorus x2:]
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

[Whistling]

[Chorus x3:]
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

Yeah, art should never commentate on what is going on in society.

Now where did I put that Boomtown Rat's song.... ;)

Yeah the lyrics are like a bullied kid that turns crazy and open fires on classmates. Just like columbine, Virginia Tech, and Aurora Colorado
