Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics 12 years ago
Actually this song is about Robert Hawkins of the Westroads Mall shooting in Omaha. Robert was long estranged from his parents and lived with friends. The people he chose to open fire on were mostly middle-aged people over 40's with only Maggie Web (24) remotely close to his age (19). Robert also was a loner, which the cowboy characteristics refer to (six shooter, cigarette, etc).
