Lyrics Foster The People – Machu Picchu
Text:
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn’t you know there was a choice?
It’s never yours but someone else’s voice
Selling your body to the street
Selling your girlfriend’s to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with horse’s feet
And now you’ve heard that…
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that’s the USA
Platinum’s on the rise
Playboys in disguise
I’m just trying’ to find
A mountain I can climb
Selling your girlfriend’s to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with horse’s feet
And now you’ve heard that…
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that’s the USA
Platinum’s on the rise
Playboys in disguise
I’m just trying’ to find
A mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn’t you know there was a choice?
It’s never yours but someone else’s voice
And now you see that…
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that’s the USA
Porn’s on the rise
Psycho’s in disguise
I’m just tryin’ to find
A mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn’t you know there was a choice?
It’s never yours but someone else’s voice
