Foster The People - Call It What You Want Lyrics

Foster The People - Call It What You Want Lyrics

call it what you want
call it what you want
i said just call it what you want
call it what you want

yeah we’re locked up in ideas
we like to label everything
well i’m just gonna do here what i gotta do here
‘cause i gotta keep myself free
you’re ducking and moving just to hide your bruises from all your enemies
and i’m in the crossfire dodging bullets from your expectancies

we’ve got nothing to lose
you better run and hide
yeah you’ve crossed the line
i’ve got a knife behind my back (just sayin’)
we’ve got nothing to prove
your social guides give you swollen eyes
but what i’ve got can’t be bought so you can just

call it what you want
call it what you want
i said just call it what you want
call it what you want

you’ve taken your words and you take your judgments
and stick them onto everything
if it don’t conform to what you were born into,
then you run the other way
you say, “now what’s your style and who do you listen to?” who cares?
well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile’s got nothing on me

we’ve got nothing to lose
you better run and hide
yeah you’ve crossed the line
i’ve got a knife behind my back (just sayin’)
we’ve got nothing to prove
your social guides give you swollen eyes
but what i’ve got can’t be bought so you can just

call it what you want
call it what you want
i said just call it what you want
call it what you want

Foster The People - Helena Beat Lyrics

Foster The People - Helena Beat Lyrics

Sometimes life it takes you by the hair.
It pulls you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
Yeah, I’d make it out just to fall on my head

Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose

Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.

You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you’re lost in your head again.
You play the game but you kind of cut
‘Cause you’re coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.
I’ve tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I’m dodging calls, hug the prison I’ve been living in.

Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight
