Songs that are about/related to school shootings.
First of all, I wish to offer my sincerest apologies if this post causes any offence. As you know, school shootings are an immensely sensitive and complicated topic to discuss. Hence, I’ve grown intrigued to learn of how musical artists have expressed their view on the issue or made a song about a specific case. These four are the ones that immediately came to mind, but I’m curious if anyone else knows other songs.
Pumped Up Kicks - The song is about a school shooter, Robert, who finds a revolver and intends to take the lives of all the kids with the, “pumped up kicks.”
Yonkers - While not really about or even related, Tyler, the Creator mentions Virginia Tech and Columbine.
Pigs - I believe that, compared to a song like Pumped Up Kicks, it’s a bit more difficult to label Pigs as being about or related to a school shooting. However, the lyrics imply some sort of attack.
Hope - A song dedicated to the victims of the Parkland shooting.
