Foster The People Pumped Up Kicks lyrics

 
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 of his mouth, he's a cowboy kid
He found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet with 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'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day
He'll 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 slight 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"
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/foster_the_people/pumped_up_kicks.html ]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Run run run run
Ru-ru-ru-run run run
Ru-ru-ru-run run run run
Ru-ru-ru-run run run ru-run run

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

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

About this lyrics

"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop group Foster the People written and recorded by Mark Foster at Mophonics in the Venice district of Los Angeles. Mark Foster explained the song's meaning to Spinner UK: "Pumped Up Kicks' is about a kid that basically is losing his mind and is plotting revenge. He's an outcast. I feel like the youth in our culture are becoming more and more isolated. It's kind of an epidemic. Instead of writing about victims and some tragedy, I wanted to get into the killer's mind, like Truman Capote did in In Cold Blood. I love to write about characters. That's my style. I really like to get inside the heads of other people and try to walk in their shoes."

I think that it is a kid who has had enough, the problems with other kids, but also the dad working late and this kid has cook dinner and got it ready. This isn't the first time, but when it says daddy is bring home a surprise, myself i think it is that the kid isn't just having problems with other kids, but "surprise" are usually giving to cover for lost time or for the abuse that parent put yu through too, even sexually. The kids hands is quick to pull got the cig lite up and out of its wits..

Yeah the slight 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"

It's about a boy so distraught in life and so lonely he is somewhat insane. He finds a gun, and he plans on takin it to school and try shooting the kids.

Its about the columbine shooting! Not shoes, the only thing with the shoes is that the more popular roch kids wore pumped up kicks verses the isolated ones wearing converse..

As teenager grows into their early adult life being isolated from his better off peers and by his parent’s lack of concern and love; creates within him a loneliness, a depression, and a constant feeling of fear that leads his mind to some level of insanity in which he feels that violence is his only way out.
