flamingemt2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 This is a very catchy tune, but do you know what the lyrics are ? Lyrics to Run Run Run Faster Than My Bullet (Pumped up Kicks) by Foster the People are as follows: [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 6-shooter gun In his dad's closet Hidden 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 [Hook] 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 Yeah, 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.

Asysin2leads Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 That's okay, I heard a song about a guy who shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Hardcore stuff there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 And I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot the deputy. The jig is up the news is out they finally found me, a renegade who had it made with something yada yada yada for a bounty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1C Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It seems to be a popular tune for the bar. I ended up yelling at some poor girl I've never seen before, something along the lines of it being played 11 times in three hours for christ sakes. I realize some folks will do anything to try to get laid, but playing the same song, every other song, for a drunk blonde with no class... PUHLEEZE! I gave the DJ $20 for the CD, and tossed it over the balcony into the ravine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siffaliss Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I recall hearing about the meaning sometime after the song first came out. It's essentially about a kid who's tired of being bullied and decides to plot revenge. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=22941 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1C Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siffaliss Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Reasonable AND a little scary. Seems like people either love or hate the song. I happen to love it, however do hope that people don't take it to heart and act out, citing the song as their trigger. Kurt Cobain et al ... (liked him too, hated the Bitch although she was good live in concert in the 90's) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
