Lyrics Foster The People – Tabloid Super Junky
Text:
Well capitalistic feast has been sucking the heat
You’re passing up, you’re injured, for ability
Well I’ve been waiting for a compromise but I guess it’s more the same
We’ve separated all the things that we want for gain
Well they were looking right at you, you forget the face
Well if the future’s sipping up all the space and food through a straw
And a mock is finally flipped on it’s back
Well static is a worthy test to help you brush aside the rest
Is this something that you’d ever need
Well I’m okay
Are you scared to take what they’ve taken from you
Yeah I am afraid
We’ve sold our name
I’m sick of being accosted by the ghost in the street
Your magazine looking backward thinking junkies are just fodder for the global lead
Do you think you had a choice
When you’re eating and sleeping in all the noise?
Let the moneymakers keep the politicians afloat
We’re biting everything that we’re told
Well, then a smile and a couple of jokes will be enough of to convince the good folks
Well, is this something that you’d ever need?
Well, I’m okay
Are you waiting for a minute to fight for what they’ve taken from you?
Yeah, I’m afraid
We’ve sold our name
