Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks (Lyrics)

Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks sounds upbeat and catchy on the surface, but the lyrics tell a much darker story. The song follows a troubled kid named Robert who feels isolated and disconnected, and it’s written from his perspective as his thoughts become more dangerous and unstable. A big part of the song is the contrast between the happy, almost carefree sound and the serious subject matter underneath it. It’s less about glorifying violence and more about showing how ignored loneliness and emotional issues can spiral into something disturbing. It was released as a single on September 14, 2010. » Stream: https://apple.co/4noO22s Listen to our Spotify Playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Skvqd8FYzSqrnjzFUFqSc?si=4RzFerSORxGDvBlQZ4A3lw&nd=1 Foster The People • Social Networks https://www.facebook.com/fosterthepeople/ https://www.instagram.com/fosterthepeople/?hl=en https://fosterthepeople.com/ https://x.com/fosterthepeople Gold Coast Music • Social Networks ► https://www.instagram.com/goldcoastlyrics/ ► https://open.spotify.com/user/ite89asz7if3eic9jbx6pqvhr?si=aa1f63e7494c462c ► https://discord.gg/sQEhSMHzXg ► https://www.submithub.com/blog/gold-coast-music ﹉﹉ • Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks (Lyrics) [Verse 1] 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 with a box of fun things I don't even know what But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you, wait [Chorus] 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet [Verse 2] Daddy works a long day He be coming home late, and he's coming home late And he's bringing me a surprise 'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice I've waited for a long time Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger I reason with my cigarette And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must've lost your wits," yeah [Chorus] 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet [Bridge] Run, run, run, run Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run Ru-ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run Ru-ru-ru-run Run, run, ru-run, run [Chorus] 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet 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 You better run, better run faster than my bullet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #fosterthepeople #pumpedupkicks #lyrics #goldcoastmusic
