I heard this song on the radio many times before I actually payed attention to the lyrics. I just think this is completely not what you'd expect. The song sounds so upbeat and happy, but...nope.
@Phyxius The lyrics in the chorus are an opposite mindset than the lyrics in the verse. I remember we debated this song in school whether it was glorifying the violence (because of the chorus) or condemning it (because of the verses). I was in the latter group, so I started telling people "you haven't heard to the verses then" when told that it glorifies violence.
