Foster The People : "Pumped Up Kicks" banni des radios US

Il n'y a pas que Kesha et son nouveau single "Die Young" qui ont fait les frais de la tragédie de Newton, Connecticut. La chanson "Pumped Up Kicks" de Foster The People, qui parle d'une tuerie dans un établissement scolaire, vient d'être également bannie des radios américaine suite au massacre qui a eu lieu à l'école primaire Sandy Hook. Pourtant, le groupe avait déclaré que les paroles de cette chanson étaient justement destinées à sensibiliser les jeunes sur les dangers des armes à feu...

 

Foster The People : paroles de "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.

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.

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
