"Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People has been my new song obsession lately. I heard this song playing on Star 98.7 one day, and I just love it! There's something very pleasant and calming about the beat. Ironically, though, the lyrics are pretty disturbing. To sum it up, the song's about a homicidal teenager. Check out the lyrics after the jump!
And just FYI, Foster The People is an indie rock band from LA. The band started fairly recently, in October 2009. Going to definitely check them out when they release more songs!
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 dads 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.
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.

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, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
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.
