1 of sour, 2 of sweet, 3 of strong, 4 of weak

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

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

My third favorite August song :) Not so much on the lyrics but the quirky melody.

Here’s a heavily blogged about band that is fast gaining popularity in these parts – Foster The People. This LA band trio infectious single Pumped Up Kicks is already a big, shinny tune bowling over the indie & clubber crowd. The band’s sound of an eclectic mix of jangle indie pop dance gives them an edge over the other indie band in its league. However, while this track has a hyped-up appeal, there is a nagging feeling that you might forget this band once the next big thing comes along.
