Foster The People - Doing It for the Money lyrics

Just close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah
We're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money

Is it wrong to write the rules?
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
And now I'm never looking back
It's time to leave the future in the past

I said it doesn't matter where I go, I am
Calling all the poets into battle, I am
Shouting to the world
Let 'em know that we won't
Be afraid to step into the fight
When we can't see the light

So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah
We're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money

Well, if you're down, then soldier up
You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
There's no retreat and no escape
If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake

I said it doesn't matter where I go, I am
Calling all the prophets into battle, I am
Never gonna change who I am, I won't
Bend under the pressure when my
Back's on the ropes
I said, it doesn't matter where I go, I am
Staring down the barrel of a gun, we are
Shouting to the world
Let them know that we are
Not afraid to step into the fight
When you can't see the light

So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah
We're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money

Well, it's a silicon rush and I'm addicted
I don't understand
When it starts, I can't switch
Saying what I won't do
Well, pleasure comes as pain too
But mostly it's an afterthought
And it's slowly coming after you

So close your eyes
We're gonna run this blind
We live our lives, yeah
We're not wasting time
Maybe we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get, get what we can
But we're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
