    it is an interesting thing isnt it ... the band themselves acknowledged their surprise at how popular it got even though they weren't even sure it would be allowed on the radio ... most people don't really listen to the lyrics of the song ... all they know is that it has a good beat ... smh

    honestly the band must be idiots to even write songs about shooting people because their luck of birth was better than theirs

    No...the teacher should've supervised more closely, it wasn't an appropriate song. I just wonder how---other parents who DON'T care what their kids listen to, send them to school with IPODS...
