    lyrics:

    Lyrics:
    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 of his mouth
    He's a cowboy kid
    He found a six-shooter gun
    In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things, I don't know what
    But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

    "All the other kids with your 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 yoour 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 slight of my hand is now the pull of a trigger
    I reason with my cigarette
    And say your hair's on fire, you must of lost your wit, 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 your pumped up kicks,
    You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet."
     
  2. Um...yeah but the song came out BEFORE that last school shooting.


    Obviously it's about that kind of thing though. My wife hates it because of that
