Foster The People - Tabloid Super Junkie Lyrics

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
You remember your name

Well they were looking right at you
You forget the face
If the future's sipping all space and food
Through a straw
And the monster's finally flipped on it's back
Well, the 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?
Well yeah, I'm afraid
We've sold our names

I'm sick of being accosted by the ghost in the street
Your magazine looking backward thinking junkies
Are just fodder for the global elite
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 to convince the good folks

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 names
