Foster The People – Warrant Lyrics

How does this work?
Caution: You are now annotating this song as
Well I've been judged
I've been a bug unknown
I know all about it but my heart is strong

I've been away been running to save my head
Yeah the warrant's out and I'm almost dead
I won't say what I've already said

Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead

I've thought a lot about the way that they fight
Come through the phone lines, not man enough to face me

I can't stop or argue about what they say
Yeah the warrant's out and I'm not gonna pay
I said what I'm gonna say

[Hook]

Fear is like a fake friend
It warms you up and takes you in
You mouth the words but no sound comes out

Fear is like your best friend
Manipulates and takes you in
You mouth the words
No sound again

But you don't know better
You don't know better

[Hook]

About Warrant

This song follows a criminal, who is being tracked by the police to be arrested and put in jail.
He articulates his worries and his fears, his psychological state, and the position he is in regarding the law.
Between the dense subject matter and the beautiful musical composition, this may be one of the best and most underrated songs on the album.
