It's called "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. If the name of the song isn't reason enough for me to love the song, here are a few more. The band members are pretty good looking, it's an offbeat song that isn't overplayed a bajillion times on the "popular" stations (yet anyway!), and it's a pretty catchy song that I think is about a kid who is bullied/abused and threatens the bullies with a gun :(. No, I don't support bullying or guns. But the song is so dang catchy for the subject matter! Does that make sense? Now I sound like a terrible person. I'll stop rambling. Here's the vid.
I need to know the lyrics to every song. They're kind of hard to understand here, so here they are! You can form your own opinion on what the song is about.
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
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
x1
Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
Because 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 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

P.S. I spoke too soon. It's #4 on iTunes. I like it a little less now. :(
