Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics By Foster The People

    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 sixshooter gun
    in his dad’s closet oh in a box of fun things
    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
    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

    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 quickpull trigger
    i reason with my cigarette
    and say your hair’s on fire you must’ve 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
    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

    run run run run
    run run run run run run
    run run run run run run
    run run run run
    run run run run run

    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
