Foster The People - Warrant Lyrics






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

[x2:]
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 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

[x2:]
Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead

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

[x4:]
Got to get away
Yeah, the warrants on my head
Got to get away
They want me alive or dead

Foster The People Warrant Comments
  1. N.... S....

    Great song.

  2. M.... ....

    as a firm pessimist and nihilist even one such as I cannot deny the vibes coming off this track

  3. S.... F....

    Apart from listening to relaxing theta wave music for studying I listen to FTP. I just feel so motivated listening to them. 💙

  4. O.... H....

    this isnt hollow knight

  5. T.... W....

    I wanna sea this live, so bad yo✌️💀

    T.... W....

    Gotta get away, there's a warrant on my head

  6. c.... c....

    This is the thickest, sauciest, lavish bass lick ever.

  7. c.... c....

    Torches lit

  8. N.... A....

    Here's what I would consider (if I were you) a huge compliment. You guys remind me somewhat of New Order. I was crazy about New Order in the early 90s. I feel the essence here which in no way diminishes your own incredibly creative and unique sound. Great music.

    N.... A....

    What r yu even talking bout

  9. N.... B....

    One of my favorite-est songs ever. :D

  10. A.... /....

    This song... I'm so mad I didn't get into Foster the People sooner, and this song being the last song on the album just makes it so much more emotional for me. It's probably my favorite song from the album and I can so imagine it being used at the end of a film or as end credits to a film. Makes me realise why people always put those comments on popular songs like "anyone still watching in [current time]?". Makes me feel sad that this song is just dropping off, probably. But then it'll be used in a commercial/show/film and new people will come here then part of me will be a bit mad at how they only came here because of "x" when in reality it's just music man who cares who was here when. I should just enjoy the art for what it is to me right now. I guess I solved my own emotional turmoil haha

  11. L.... ....

    The intro reminds me to "Celestial Voices" by Pink Floyd

  12. m.... v....

    Yes it is

  13. F.... t....

    This is pretty fitting for RDR2.

  14. m.... m....

    Amo foster the people

  15. Q.... D....

    We can all agree that 4:18 was the best part

  16. D.... F....

    Wonderful.

  17. F.... N....

    Que canción más adictiva

  18. D.... R....

    This song is like if you are running from an angel that chases you to lead you to heaven but you don't want to be dead so that's why you run from it. This song brings me back so many memories when I was in my high school and about to end it, I miss it now

    D.... R....

    Ja moin

    Gotta get away, so deep.

  21. L.... G....

    So in Pumped Up Kicks he shoots people to get shoes, in Don’t Stop (Color on the wall) he goes fully insane and won’t stop kicking till he gets new shoes, and in this one he’s running from the police ?

  22. D.... 5....

    I need a new album ☹️

  23. D.... G....

    I cried listening to this my science teacher mr mumley always played foster the people but he had to leave all the way across the country to live with his wive
    I miss him

  24. R.... ....

    I thought it was got to get away, yeah the warrent's on my head. Wait it is....but the description tho?

  25. L.... D....

    This song is UNDRRATED

  26. d.... r....

    Zelda intro?

  27. R.... N....

    [Verse 1]
    Well I've been judged, I've been a bug unknown
    Yeah 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

    [Chorus]
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead

    [Verse 2]
    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

    [Chorus]
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead

    [Verse 3]
    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

    [Chorus]
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead
    Got to get away, yeah the warrants on my head
    Got to get away, they want me alive or dead

  28. D.... G....

    Every time I listen to foster the people I cry because my science teacher used to play songs from them but he moved to Carolina he was my favorite teacher I miss him so much

  29. J.... S....

    Love that bassline

  30. C.... B....

    what a way to end the album.

  31. S.... B....

    This is my favorite song off this album

  32. E.... ....

    I’ve only been listening to ftp for about a month, and I’m already in love with their music❤️

  33. T.... p....

    I was thinking of what to do with my current life to this song, and it gave me the idea to clean my room and make my own. I also created my own style in fashion and it gave me some interesting perspective. I am in 8th grade and my life seems to be put back together. I discoverd I have a talent in art and I'm currently writing a book.

    T.... p....

    Well dang, you’ve got everything figured out a lot earlier than most people your age! I sure had no clue what to do with my life when I was an 8th-grader. Good for you!

    T.... p....

    Zelinda Ubren good for you!

    T.... p....

    Zelinda Ubren hope everything goes good for you! I im struggling to find my place in a new school right and i have a hard time finding things Im interested in.
    So i just listen to FTP and nirvana to relax to feel good again.

  34. e.... ....

    This song gives me chills every time I listen to it

  35. R.... C....

    long intro tho,m

  36. J.... ....

    I actually have a warrant

  37. G.... B....

    No other album by ftp can compete with torches!!👈_.

  38. a.... ....

    0:00-1:00 is the best part for me.

  39. B.... ....

    I always thought the first line was either "life in jars" or "laughed and judged"

  40. T.... E....

    Gonna be my intro😏😉😇

  41. E.... M....

    Mark foster a musical prodigy in his own Right.

  42. N.... ....

    They want me alive or dead

  43. P.... B....

    I really like this one. Very catchy. The Beatles spring to mind. Brilliant.

    I keep seeing people in the comments saying that the intro sounds like Zelda music. First, I welcome any Zelda reference so yes! Second, I actually used to play this CD while I played Zelda and always thought it sounded like a piece from the game and now I will always think of this Zelda when I hear this album.

  72. M.... A....

    s.... ....

    @JustSarah LOL i thought the same thing as soon as i heard the intro

    s.... ....

    it looks like nobody replied you, therefore i reply you.

  75. E.... E....

    J.... P....

    @FemininEm yeeeah, gave me the chills!!

    J.... P....

    Intro kind of reminds me of the intro to Force Ten by Rush

    J.... P....

    SOUNDED LIKE BAYWATCH TO ME

    E.... ....

    Me too 😂

    E.... ....

    @Emily Sant lol spot on

    E.... ....

    I actually used to play this cd while I played Zelda. I always thought the intro sounded like it was in the game.

    E.... ....

    I'm like, why did I get a recommendation on YouTube for a Zelda playlist haha

    E.... ....

    For me is more like "Pork Parts" from Age of empires 2 :P

  84. W.... K....

    loved it so good 

  85. D.... N....

    Awesome song

  86. N.... M....

    Why is this song so amazing

    R.... ....

    @Adam Sheats

    R.... ....

    until I looked up the lyrics, I always thought it said
    Got to get away,
    There's a war inside my head.

  90. R.... ....

    intro is the best part :3

  91. J.... R....

    sounds like a zelda

  93. G.... G....

    I like this song because it makes me feel like water flowing down a mountain

  94. M.... R....

  95. B.... K....

    intro start is like age of empires: conquest music

    B.... K....

    Oh lol yes you're right, never made the connection.

    B.... K....

    The horde of Genghis Kahn approaches!
