UPDATE: Foo Fighters Live have tipped us off that Whitehouse and Death In June are bands. Thanks!

The lyrics for every song on Foo Fighters’ new album Concrete and Gold have leaked. Read them below (via Foo Fighters Live). Dave Grohl previously stated that “Run” was partially inspired by the events of the 2016 Presidential election.

T-Shirt

I Don’t wanna be king
I just wanna sing a love song
Pretend there’s nothing wrong
You can sing along with me
I don’t wanna be queen
Just trying to keep my T-shirt clean

There’s One thing that I have learned
If it gets much better, it’s going to get worse

And you get what you deserve

Make It Right

Everybody needs, everybody needs
needs a little suffer
I just wanna do
I just wanna do
do a little number
bite the hand that feeds
bite the hand that feeds, bite a little harder
What’s it gonna take, what’s it gonna take
gonna take a lover

Hop on the train to nowhere baby
Don’t you wanna hitch a ride
Lights go out and your head starts spinning
Someone got you hypnotized
Down on the chain, your bad tuxedo
Brother can you spare a dime
Count what’s left when it’s all gone wrong
How you gonna make it right
How you gonna make it right

Everybody breathe, everybody breathe
breathe a little deeper
Got no soul to keep, got no soul to keep
ain’t no brother’s keeper
I don’t fuckin’ need, I don’t fuckin’ need
I don’t need a martyr
Who’s it gonna be, who’s it gonna be
Gonna be another

Hop on the train to nowhere
Don’t you wanna hitch a ride
Lights go out and your head starts spinning
Someone got you hypnotized
Down on the chain, your bad tuxedo
Brother can you spare a dime
Count what’s left when it’s all gone wrong
How you gonna make it right
How you gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
How you gonna make it right
Gonna make it right

Hop on the train to nowhere
Don’t you wanna hitch a ride
Lights go out and your head starts spinning
Someone got you hypnotized
Down on the chain, your bad tuxedo
Brother can you spare a dime
Count what’s left when it’s all gone wrong
How you gonna make it right
How you gonna make it right
How you gonna make it right
Gonna make it right
Gonna make it right

The Sky Is A Neighborhood

The sky is a neighborhood
so keep it down
the heart is a storybook
A star burned out
The sky is a neighborhood
Don’t make a sound
Lights coming up ahead
Don’t look now

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don’t look now

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling
Banging on the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta get to sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling
Banging on the ceiling
Keep it down

My mind is a battlefield
All hope is gone
Trouble to the right and left
Whose side you on?
Thoughts like a minefield
I’m a ticking bomb
Maybe you should watch your step
Don’t get lost

The sky is a neighborhood
The sky is a neighborhood
Don’t get lost

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta got your sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling
Bangin’gon the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta got your sleep somehow
Banging on the ceiling
Bangin’gon the ceiling
Keep it down

The sky is a neighborhood
Heart is a storybook
The star burned out
Something coming up ahead
Don’t look now

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta got your sleep somehow
Bangin’ on the ceiling
Bangin’ on the ceiling
Keep it down

Oh my dear heaven is a big bang now
Gotta got your sleep somehow
Bangin’ on the ceiling
Bangin’ on the ceiling
Keep it down

The sky is a neighborhood

Dirty Water

I’ve been drinking dirty water
But I’ve been here before
After all
The witching hour is upon us
So you and I can sing
Haunted songs

In my dreams I’m climbing ladders
And then I tumble down
Ring by ring
And I keep on falling faster
The heart is echoing
On and on
On and on

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
I’m a natural disaster
And you’re the morning after all my storms

You’re my sea of poison flowers
Standing in the sun
Row by row
I’ve been drinking dirty water
The taste of sweet revenge
Best served cold
All we know

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
I’m a natural disaster
And you’re the morning after all my storms

Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Be dirty water
Breathe dirty sky

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
Cuz I’m a natural disaster
And you’re the morning after all my storms

Arrows

She was a friend of mine
Alone on a dead end street
Dancing through life
On the front lines
She led a quiet life
Ends they don’t always meet
Years passed her by, waiting to rise

She had arrows in her eyes
Fear where her heart should be
War in her mind

Arrows in her eyes
Fear where the heart should be
War in her mind
Shame in her cries
Arrows in her eyes
Tears in her arteries
War in her mind
Shame as she cries

Fire away

Under a silent light
Screaming biology
Queen Gemini
The world in her sights
I want a new life
Forming inside of me
Blessed and born
Into this fire

You had arrows in your eyes
Fear where your heart should be
War in your mind

Arrows in your eyes
Fear where your heart should be
War in your mind
Shame in your cries
Arrows in your eyes
Tears in your arteries
War in your mind
Shame as you crew

Fire away

Arrows in her eyes
Fear where her heart should be
War in her mind
Shame in her cries
Arrows in her eyes
Tears in her arteries
War in her mind
Shame as she cries

Fire away

Happy Ever After (Zero Hour)

The sun went down on another perfect day
Busy counting shadows on the wall
The weeds are swallowing up the flower bed
Roses in the whiskey jar
Blood on the thorns
Drink until the taste is gone

Cracks in the floorboards are deep
from dancing to the sound of candles burning out
Heavy from writing your resignations
Licking bitter envelopes
Blood on your tongue
Drink until the taste is gone

Where is your Shrangri La now?
Where is your Shrangri La now?
Counting down to zero hour
There ain’t no superheroes now
There ain’t no superheroes

They’re underground
Happy ever after
Counting down to zero hour

There ain’t no superheroes now
There ain’t no superheroes
They’re undergound
Happy Ever After
counting down to zero hour

Where is your Shrangri La now?
Where is your Shrangri La now?
Counting down to zero hour
There ain’t no superheroes now
There ain’t no superheroes
They’re underground
Happy ever after
Counting down to zero hour

There ain’t no superheroes now
There ain’t no superheroes
They’re underground
Happy Ever After
counting down to zero hour

Sunday Rain

You say I take it for granted
I say you’ve taken it all
So you can take it or leave it
You got your head in the ceiling
When are you gonna come down
When you’re that high
Can you feel it?

Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s right down the drain I go
Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s always a shame oh no

You wanna tell me a secret
You think I’m gonna find out
You dealt a lie you should keep it
Don’t want to know when it’s leading
Don’t wanna follow you round
My first mistake was believing

Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s right down the drain I go
Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s always a shame oh no

Are you a Little afraid?
A Little alone?
A Little exhausted?
Do you give it away?
Do you let go?
Where do you find it?

Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s right down the drain I go
Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s always a shame oh no
Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s right down the drain I go
Don’t leave me drowning in your Sunday rain
It’s always a shame oh no

Are you a Little afraid?
A Little alone?
A Little exhausted?
Do you give it away?
Do you let go?
How do you find it?

Are you a Little afraid?
A Little alone?
A Little exhausted?
Do you give it away?
Do you let go?
How do you find it?

Are you a Little afraid?
A Little alone?
A Little exhausted?
Do you give it away?
Do you let go?
How do you find it?

The Line

Yes or no
What is truth
But a dirty black cloud coming out of the blue
I was wrong
I was right
I’m a blood moon born in the dead of night

Break my bones
I don’t care
All I ever wanted was a body to share
Heart’s gone gold
Brush ran dry
Satellite searching for a sign of life
Like you

Somewhere
Are you there?

The tears in your eyes
Someday will dry
We fight for our lives
‘Cause everything’s on the line
This time

Listen close
I can’t hide
I’m a page torn from a broken spine
Sun gets low
I get high
Satellite searching for a sign of life
Like you

Somewhere
Are you there?

The tears in your eyes
Someday will dry
We fight for our lives
‘Cause everything’s on the line
This time

Are you there?
Are you there?

The tears in your eyes
Someday will dry
We fight for our lives
‘Cause everything’s on the line
This time

The tears in your eyes
Someday will dry
We fight for our lives
‘Cause everything’s on the line

Yes or no
What is truth
But a dirty black cloud coming out of the blue
I was wrong
I was right
I’m a blood moon born in the dead of night

Concrete and Gold

You lost your mind
I could not go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor

My desperation
A spinning top
Revolving on and on
A world that never stops

Is it all mine?
How could I know
We threw the rind away
Swallowed all the core

Tried levitation
You’re not alone
The stars are holding open
A door we’ll never close

I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
The roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow

Is it all mine
I can’t let go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor
My desperation
Is this a curse
Till death do us part
For better or for worse

I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
The roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow
Our roots are stronger than we know
Up through the concrete they will grow

Run

Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me

In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run

The rats are on parade
Another mad charade
What you gonna do?
The hounds are on the chase
Everything’s erased
What you gonna’ do?
I need some room to breath
You can stay asleep
If you wanted to
They say that’s nothings free
But you can run with me
If you wanted to

Yeah you can run with me
If you wanted to

Before the time runs out
There’s somewhere to run

Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me

In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
Run!

We’ve got to make some space
Everything’s erased
What you gonna do
I need some room to breath
You can run with me
If you wanted to
Yeah you can run with me
If you wanted to

Before the time runs out
There’s somewhere to run
Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me

In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run

Wake up
Run for your life with me
Wake up
Run for your life with me

In another perfect life
In another perfect light
We run
We run
We run
