//TW: This song (chapter) is about a school shooting. If you're uncomfortable by that, please leave for your own safety.
The robber's got a quick hand. He'll look around the room but won't tell you his plans. He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth. He's a cowboy kid. He found a six-shooter gun in his dad's closet in a box of things. I don't even know what but he's coming for you. All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks better outrun my gun. All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run faster than my bullet.
Daddy works a long day. He'll be coming home late, bringing home a surprise because dinner is in the kitchen and it's packed in ice. I've waited for a long time. The sleight of my hand is a quick-pull trigger. I reason with my cigarette and say, "your hair's on fire. You must've lost your wits." All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks better outrun my gun. All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks better run faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped-up kicks better outrun my gun. All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run faster than my bullet.
