foster the people - 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 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 better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late
And he's bring me a surprise
Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

I've waited for a long time
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say your hair's on fire you must have lost your wits yeah

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run faster than my bullet

foster the people - ask yourself

[Verse 1]
Well I've tried to live life the way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof just followed the rules
Well I pick up the paces and I
Move my feet as fast as I can
I'm always falling behind, just float in the lines
You want more and ambitions' taking its toll on you
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth

[Hook]
Well you say that dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found the more I want, the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more

[Verse 2]
You're coughing blood again
I know cause I clean up the mess every now and then
Fold the line along the seam
Force a smile and never say what you mean
Your in the promise land, someone else's dream
If you want more, you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
Its okay you're fine, ambition's not a crime

[Hook]
Well you say that dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found the more I want, the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more
Well ask yourself

[Breakdown]
Well is this the life you've been waiting for

Well ask yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for

Well ask yourself

[Hook x2]

foster the people - houdini

Rise above, gonna start the war!
What you want, what you need, what'd you come here for?
Well, eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight
They're taking me down as the prisoners riot...

I've got shackles on, my words are tight
Fear can make you compromise
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear...

When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well you got what you want, and what you never knew
It's a perfect gift from me to you...

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I've got shackles on, my words are tight
Fear can make you compromise
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear...

(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
I don't want to compromise...

(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear
Run around before I'll come with you
Like he's someone who's lost his way...

(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
Cause it was easy to see
Of my ability...

(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah you're undecided
Yeah so I can see it
Yeah I don't want to run away...

Focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
You gotta focus on your ability
Now Focus on your ability
Focus on your ability...

Gain again what they want to steal
Gain again what they want to steal
Gonna gain again what they want to steal
Gain again what they want to steal...

foster the people - waste

I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
When the monsters they wont go,
The windows, they wont close,
I'll pretend to see what you see

How long, I say how long, will you re-live the things that are gone?
The devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off

And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through because I just really want to be with you

You know its funny how freedom can make us feel contained
When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers than you'd escape with me
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen
to you when you speak, or scream

And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through because I just really want to be with you

[Incomprehensible lyrics here]

And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through because I just really want to be with you

foster the people - best friend

(When your best friends are strung out)
You'll do everything you can
Cause you're never gonna let it get em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start

Feeling, sleeping, in the field again,
Oh, I can feel, I can feel
I can feel, it's beginning to end

Yeah, premonition smiling in the dark
Oh, I can see, I can see
I can see the story starting to arc

Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh

It's comes up
I've been a spoken word
I've been a river bed
I've been a rabid voice
And let it flow up from within

Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white

Ahhh, Ahhhh, Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhh
And colors soâ€¦

(When your best friends are strung out)
You'll do everything you can
Cause you're never gonna let it get em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it's what you need
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
(When you feel up in the clouds)
Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start

Waits, and fed us, slipping into dreams
Oh, I can feel, I can feel
I can feel the celestial beings

Oh welted pleasures leaving with the breath
I can see, I can see
I can see the beauty in the mask

Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh

It draws up
I've been a river bed
I tried to salt the wound
I've carried more than I can
I feel I've got a lot to prove
Sometimes I feel like I only dream in black and white

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh
But colors soâ€¦.

(When your best friends are strung out)
You'll do everything you can
Cause you're never gonna let it get em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it's what you need
You hide your eyes when you're close to me
(When you feel up in the clouds)
You ought to know
That I'm here no matter where you want to go
(In your head hanging upside-down)
Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start

I'm here, no matter where are
So let it in with, open arms, no matter where you are
Sometimes, you'll have to wait,
And it passes by like a satellite or star
No matter where you are

(When your best friends are strung out)
You know when
Ooh-hoooo-hooooo
(When you feel up in the clouds)
Oh, Yeah, you know when
Ooh-hoooo-Ooh hooooo

(When your best friends are strung out)
Oh, yeah, you know when
You ought to know
That I'm here no matter where you want to go
(In your head, hanging upside-down)
Yeah, you know when
That's how you know
When your best friends are strung out

foster the people - coming of age

Girl I see you standing there like a ragged doll
And you got those crying eyes
Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms

You know I try to live without regrets
I'm always moving forward and not looking back
But I tend to live a trail of death around you when I'm here.
So I'm steppin' away
Cause I got nothin' to say

Feels like feels like it's comin'
Feels like feels like a coming of age
Feels like feels like its comin'
Feels like feels like a coming of age

When my fear pulls me out to sea
And the stars are hittin' on my private eye and needs
I seem to hurt the people that care the most
Just like you never know I protect my pride
And I'm too bruised to fight
And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right

Well I'm bored of the game
And too tired to rest

Feels like feels like it's comin'
It feels like feels like it's like a coming of age
It feels like feels like it's comin'
Feels like feels like a coming of age
It's like a coming age
[repeat]

foster the people - don t stop

Walk little walk Small talk big thoughts
Gonna tell them all just what I want
That Street two streets I see you and me
Hanging on the empty of swings

Im a superman and it's my show
One shoe two gonna kick with My new shoes
Im going to kick until I need new shoes

I like to hide behind my bedroom door
Crayon on the wall
Color on the wall
Until I've broken every law

foster the people - chin music for the unsuspecting hero

Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
Got all of my papers out and read them
Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
The hardest part is not seeing what I used to see
My faith grew to a top but worry does all it can
To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories

Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I find myself against all the odds again

But I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
Yeah showed up late, got screamed in my face
Turn around, I'm punch drunk, but I'm laughin'
Got some thoughts in my chest
They're playing games with my head
Ten hours of sleep, I make my bed again
Scream up to my God, say "I do what I can"
How am I gonna move out from this circustance?

Where are my friends now?
They're not around when I need them
I cannot pretend
Yeah, I find myself against all the odds again

Yeah
Yeah
I'm against all the odds again(X4)

foster the people - love

Hello my name is Mark
I play gentleman's games
And I can slip through and creepin'
Through the night's parade
I thank a hand or two
I take my hat to you
I'm always runnin' and a-jumpin'
Like a fool who would do
On through the wild I see her
She's sees me
We could be
Something, it's exciting
I wanna run away
But I don't move, I stay
I talk to her, I say
Y-y-y-you were meant for me
Oh! I can't speak
I think I'm falling in

Love, love, love
It could be a wonderful thing
Love, love
It can make you crazy

Sarah, she's a cougar
Got moves like barracudas
On the hunt for the runs
That left gone the twenty-to-yas
Got her head up high
High heels that match her thighs
And she be spending lots of money
Her friends, think she's real funny
She used to say "look at me"
"you will see that I'm a queen"
Got experience to give up
Like you never lived
But all the boys just run
She never has a fun
Oh yeah, but sarah
She don't care, she keeps looking
Cause she's hoping for

Love, love, love
It could be a wonderful thing
Love, love
It can make you crazy
Love, love, love
It could be an incredible thing
Love, love
If you have It's amazing

I got the fever
Got the fever
Got the fever
She's got the fever
Got the fever
Yeah, finally love
He's got the fever
Got the fever
Got the fever
They've got the fever
Got the fever
Yeah finally love

Love, love, love
It could be a wonderful thing
Love love
It can make you crazy
It could be an incredible thing
Love love
If you have It's amazing

foster the people - nevermind

Well lets take off from the start
I know youve tried all this before
and did your best to fight the war
and break it off but if i follow
my name i will calm you in the storm
and breathe you in when you are
worn be still my love would it
take a shooting star? to show you
life can bloom when somethings breaks
and when the pieces fall ill catch them all

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what youre looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
but ill be here smiling when i see your face

Never mind what you're looking for
you are gonna find what youre looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
But ill be here smiling when i see your face

Yeah its hard to know the truth
in this post-modernist view
where absolutes are seen as relics
and laughed out of the room
and i'm scared to say your name
Ive cried wolf so many times cause
im afraid of what youd want from me
will you find me trough the grey?
My minds a minefield of the wretched
its honestly deceptive

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what youre looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
but ill be here smiling when i see your face

Never mind what you're looking for
you are gonna find what youre looking for
sometimes its blinding in the race
But ill be here smiling when i see your face

Soul clap your hands andsing
Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what youre looking for

Never mind what you're looking for
you'll always find what youre looking for

foster the people - under control

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you'll never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold, you know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting for the fire to enlight
Feeling like we could do right
We're the one that makes tonight
'Cause freedom is a lonely road
We're under control

We're under control

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold, you know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting for the fire to enlight
Feeling like we could do right
We're the one that makes tonight
'Cause freedom is a lonely road
We're under control

foster the people - call it what you want

Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Yeah we're locked up in ideas
We like to label everything
Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruising from all your enemies
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from you expectancies
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
Yeah you've crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
You've taken your words and you take your judgments
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into,
Then you run the other way
You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares?
Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me

foster the people - warrior

My hands are tired
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me broken

Nothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And no one looking down on you

What am I thinking?
If you're so sure it's rational
While the worlds shrinking?
But that don't make it logical
What am I thinking?
If you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking
You can't explain away the way I feel!

You're just pushing me down,
Pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you 'Trust your head, be like men'
But never feel like you're good enough
You're just crushing me down,
Crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love!

I'll be your warrior, your warrior
I'll be your warrior, your warrior

You're taking over
And I'm feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it all

Nothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I'm made for more!

What am I thinking?
If you're so sure it's rational
While the worlds shrinking?
That don't make it logical
What am I thinking?
If you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking
You can't explain away the way I feel!

You're just pushing me down,
Pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you 'Trust your head, be like men'
But never feel like you're good enough
You're just crushing me down,
Crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love!

And you're just pushing me down,
Pushing me down, pushing me down
You wanna change the world,
But your girls will be seen and not be heard!
You just crushing me down,
Crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight,
But never cry for the ones you love!

foster the people - tabloid super junkie

Well capitalistic feast has been sucking the heat
You're passing up, you're injured for ability
Well, I've been waiting for a compromise
But I guess it's more the same
We've separated all the things that we want for gain
You remember your name

Well they were looking right at you
You forget the face
If the future's sipping all space and food
Through a straw
And the monster's finally flipped on it's back
Well, the static is a worthy test to help you
Brush aside the rest

Is this something that you'd ever need?
Well, I'm okay
Are you scared to take what they've taken from you?
Well yeah, I'm afraid
We've sold our names

I'm sick of being accosted by the ghost in the street
Your magazine looking backward thinking junkies
Are just fodder for the global elite
Do you think you had a choice
When you're eating and sleeping in all the noise?
Let the moneymakers keep the politicians afloat
We're biting everything that we're told
Well, then a smile and a couple of jokes
Will be enough to convince the good folks

Is this something that you'd ever need?
Well, I'm okay
Are you waiting for a minute to fight for
What they've taken from you?
Yeah, I'm afraid
We've sold our names

foster the people - the edge of glory

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby
But I got a reason that you-hoo should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby
Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
Alright, alright

Put on your shades
'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby
It isn't a hell if everybody knows my name tonight
Alright, alright

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you

Edge with you
Edge with you
Edge with you
Edge with you

I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
