Banhart, Devendra - Foolin' Lyrics






Foolin' on the human population
I know my mind's on the front line
But when I'm lovin' on the human population
Thank God my heart's playin' its part

One day, one day at a time
One day, one day at a time

Love is the birth of a nation
Born from the good womb of humankind
All these stories of creation
Came from the same flame of the most high

One song, one song at a time
One song, one song at a time

Fearing oh I'm sure gettin' better
With every morn a new fear is born
But when I'm trusting trusting trusting
Knowing that we're in it together
Free to face unknown, free to overcome

One day, one day at a time
One day, one day at a time

  1. M.... C....

    I come back to this video often cause of how fuckin kinky it is 😂

  2. M.... C....

    What do you guys think Devendra asked for when he was trying to explain what he wanted the music video to be of

  3. D.... D....

    Histories of creation*

  4. N.... A....

    When he first gets out of the car, I thought it was Derek Zoolander!

  5. J.... E....

    It feels like a Coke commercial

  6. R.... D....

    i am wearing the exact same turtle neck as that black guy who opens the door at 0:32

  7. �.... �....

    This song is as amazing as your curls

  8. J.... E....

    Devendra doesn't need to be gore and cut off a finger when hes awesome already

  9. R.... a....

    love this song

  10. G.... T....

    Huge and kiss me Devendra.Ciao dall' Italia.

  13. I.... L....

    MANDINGO

  14. P.... ....

    Prophet

  15. C.... G....

    Possibly the best music video ever...

    C.... G....

    i watched this in 2010, and i was like wtf. but now i'm like holy crap....

  16. a.... ....

    me enamoré

  17. L.... ....

    Hubiera disfrutado esta cancion toda mi vida de no haber sido pq vi el video de casualidad ...wtf con esa mierda homsexual? xD se la re mamo

  18. N.... M....

    hoy hice algo que nunca había hecho en mi vida: comí flan, fui al súper y me dije “hoy que estoy bien, tengo que hacer algo distinto” y compré doce potes de dos flanes cada uno, cuando salí del supermercado me encontré con un ex compañero de la secundaria,
    que estaba comiendo de un tacho de basura, se me acercó para saludarme
    y salí corriendo, me corrió quince cuadras, pero por suerte tengo buen estado físico y lo perdí y me acordé de esta canción maravillosa .

  19. L.... B....

    well...

  20. l.... ....

    Sometimes I think that without his beard he looks just like Murdoc from Gorillaz.

  21. M.... .....

    I love the song but not really the video clip

  22. A.... N....

    omg that butt <3

  23. F.... R....

    Este hombre es un artista en toda extensión de la palabra

  24. L.... L....

    😢😭😭😭

  25. E.... A....

    se suponia que ese video iva ser firmado con marilyn manson pero en ultimo manson no pudo y entonce pusieron al negro

  26. T.... D....

    Masterpiece

  27. Y.... P....

    i love Devendra Banhart

  28. P.... C....

    what´s the mining of this video?

    P.... C....

    same as the avengers 4's ending

  29. A.... B....

    Gross !

  30. r.... n....

    MK ULTRA

  31. K.... P....

    I'm looking for these eyeglasses on 2:20, anyone?

  32. J.... C....

    Dónde se consiguen esclavos como éste??
    Devendra;
    Es majestuoso tu masoquismo hecho música.

  33. B.... ....

    There are so many dumb people in the comments of this video. It's not about religion or slavery or anything, just a sadomasochistic relationship. The only shocking part is the finger removal

  34. I.... P....

    I am histerically laughing. One simply cannot love Devendra.

  35. B.... T....

    Is he supposed to be Jesus Christ in this video or is it just sadomasochism?

  36. S.... G....

    Relationship Goals!

  37. R.... M....

    this is my relationship with the person I love. I'm happy to feel pain as long as they give me attention

  38. M.... R....

    Me encantas Devendra! <3

  39. R.... R....

  42. J.... F....

    Well that was different and pretty twisted.

  43. L.... C....

    Wow, this artist is really towing the elite agenda in is videos. Every video heavily laced in occultism. Are there any organic artists anymore. They are all artificially created and groomed. It's like the Monsanto of the entertainment industry. No more gmo music please.

  44. C.... C....

    What is this?

  45. L.... W....

    big pile of steaming excrement! Truly horrible...he deserves the whipping! lol

  46. J.... H....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  47. B.... W....

    This shit is fucking fire, Devendra is a mastermind at making wonderful music, thank you so much for your contribution to this genre of music.

  48. R.... W....

    I saw this with friends and had to hide the fact that I was only shocked by the finger thing

  49. D.... M....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤⚡✨⚡

  51. 5.... ....

    may I ask who's the black dude playing Devendras master?! isn't he an actor?

  52. D.... ....

    Y'a un air de Romain Duris là

    D.... ....

    Duris est moins sexy en toute objectivité.

  53. T.... C....

    haha weird but funny

  54. L.... S....

    I've just discovered you and...don't mean to freak you out but we are meant to be together. God told me so ;). Mucho amor!!

  55. A.... A....

    este tipo es un artista

  56. F.... ....

    Foolin' on the human population

    I know my mind's on the front line

    But when I'm lovin' on the human population

    Thank God my heart's playin' its part



    One day, one day at a time

    One day, one day at a time



    Love is the birth of a nation

    Born from the good womb of humankind

    And all these stories of creation

    Came from the same flame of the most high



    One song, one song at a time


    One song, one song at a time



    Fearing, oh, I'm sure gettin' better

    With every morn a new fear is born

    But when I'm trusting, trusting, trusting

    And knowing that we're in it together

    Free to face unknown, free to overcome



    One day, one day at a time

    One day, one day at a time

    F.... ....

    Futures Thank you for posting the lyrics.... but I can't name one nation born from the good womb of humankind. Haven't they ALL been born in war and suffering and oppression?

  57. n.... m....

    This song always reminds me I don't have a doorbell... because I hop up to check who's there and then I'm like... wait a minute... haha

    n.... m....

    I'd check to make sure Devendra wasn't there anyways

  58. k.... k....

    lets forget the video for a second, this song is a beautiful masterpiece

  59. D.... r....

    rocksteady

  60. L.... M....

    Yo salgo en este video.

    L.... M....

    en que parte?

  61. A.... C....

    Hahahahahah

  62. M.... H....

    I always thought the song was about coming at life with faith and letting it whip you until you can't feel it but another part of me just wants to say Devendra's kinky af

    M.... H....

    that makes him sexier, knowing he has a kinky side, sexy as fuck

    M.... H....

    Yessy Estrada Devendra should start his own country

    M.... H....

    Michael Hand And what? Take all the weirdos there? hahaha

    M.... H....

    This song is about addiction. One day at a time is how every recovering addict lives, by not using the substance or engaging in habits one day at a time. The lyrics echoe the realisations of the12 step programme. The guy whipping him is the addiction itself, beats him up, tortures him, yet he still returns for self-flagellation and can't leave behind. The programme only works if one "trusts we're in it together" and removes "his own mind from the front line" (the self) and is of service to others (to a Higher Power)

  63. C.... C....

    Alright

  64. M.... T....

    ramsay bolton cuando dejo winterfell se volvio cantante hahahahah

  65. a.... ....

    devendra eres demente pero como estas de rico!!!provoca comente completico!!

  66. L.... R....

    Hijos de jodoroswky no cabe duda esta bien para que las masas cambien

  67. R.... ....

    Wow, this video has made me realize my true feelings. I now know what I need in my life. Thank you so much Devendra, I love your art, I love you.

    R.... ....

    Please tell me what you realized you need in your life?

    R.... ....

    Well, Kalie Decker, it has firstly, made me realize that I need a man that drive that whip when I've been a bad boy.
    And trust me, I've been a bad boy. I've done things that would make priests blush.
    I need punishment, corporal and psychological.
    Secondly, I need a man that can hold me tenderly after delivering that physical /emotional punishment.
    A "bae" needs to feel love too, fam. Dead Ass. On Fleek. Savage.
    A big man that can spoon me and make me feel safe.
    Like he is an ocean wrapping around me, but not a big wet ocean with fish, or even a Frank Ocean, but an ocean of protection and peace.
    Also BBC.

    R.... ....
