INSET :

"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the group's debut single in September 2010, and was later included on their EP Foster the People and their debut album Torches. The song was written and recorded by frontman Mark Foster at Mophonics in the Venice district of Los Angeles. Contrasting with the upbeat musical composition, the lyrics describe a youth's homicidal thoughts of a killing spree.

"Pumped Up Kicks" has been both a crossover hit and a sleeper hit, as it received airplay on modern rock stations soon after its release in September 2010, and in mid-2011 began seeing noticeable airplay on contemporary hit radio stations. The song has reached number 3 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight straight weeks, making it the first Billboard Alternative Songs number one single to crack the U.S. top 5 since Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" in 2009. The song has been widely used in popular media since its release.

ORIGINAL VIDEO :

Pumped Up Kicks
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.

[Chorus x2:]
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.

[Chorus x2:]
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.

[Whistling]

[Chorus x3:]
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
