Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Pigs. By Songfacts®.

Tyler wrote this from the perspective of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two kids who were responsible for the Columbine school massacre in 1999. He told NME: "I tried to write a song from their perspective, to try and figure it out. Those kids were nerds, f---ing dweebs. I'm intrigued as to how they thought, not what they did. How do regular kids become what they became?"

This is not the first reference Tyler has made to the Columbine school massacre. He got into trouble in 2011 after tweeting that Harris and Klebold were "prolly cool ni--as.".

Here are more songs inspired by the Columbine School shootings:
"Cassie" by Flyleaf.
"Thoughtless" by Korn.
"The Kinslayer" by Nightwish.
"Strength Through Music" by Amanda Palmer.
"Rival" by Pearl Jam.
Also "Youth Of The Nation" by P.O.D was inspired by the March 5, 2001 shootings at Santana High School in Santee, California, in which two students died and thirteen were wounded.
