"Pow Pow" lyrics - LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
From this position, I will relax
From this position, I can see the whole place
From this position, oh, oh, just relax
From this, my position, I make some stand, I make my peace with the man
And it goes, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
It goes, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
From this position, I can see both of them
From this position, I totally get how the decision was reached
From this position, I can say "serious" or "cop-out" or "hard to define"
From this position, from this position, it's, uh, kind of like eating myself to death
You on the outside and me on the inside
There's advantages to both (Advantages to both)
And me being uptight and you being all right
There's advantages to each (Advantages, advantages)
From this perspective, from this position, I have a good grip on both of them
Because I have stayed home and have learned a little more about my neighborhood, which is important
(You know, there's a lot of good places to eat)
So it goes, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
So it's, pow, pow-pow-pow, pow
Pow, pow-pow, pow
It goes, pow, pow-pow-pow, pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
With you on the keystroke and me on the gangplank
There's advantages to both (Advantages to both)
And you have been all right and I have been filmed being ridiculous (Oh, eat it, Michael Musto, you're no Bruce Villanch)
I have been untied and you are all cross-eyed
There's advantages to each (Advantages to each)
And I'm coming back, coming back, coming back
Until there's nothing left in the well
Is that what they call it, the well?
I'm paralyzed and looking through you
But if nothing's right, we try anyway
As a compromised, aggregate person
I'm amazed at my decision to play
On this occasion, there are a couple of things that we know that we've pulled from Fact magazine
One, the king wears a king hat and lives in a king house
Two, your time will come, but tonight is our night, so, you should give us all of your drugs
Three, we have a black president and you do not.
So, shut up, because you don't know shit about where I'm from that you didn't get from TV
So, while times have been tough (and times have been tough)
You have been put down, washed up, and rinsed out
But honestly, and be honest with yourself, how much time do you waste?
How much time do you blow every day?
Until it's, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
Oh, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
So, pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow, pow-pow-pow
Pow, pow-pow-pow
The return of the police
(Pow-pow-pow)
The return of the police
With you on the inside and me on the outside
There's advantages to both (Advantages to both)
Me being wired and you being tired
There's advantages to each (Advantages, advantages)
From this position, I feel an affinity for the both of them (which is confusing)
But honestly, I should be careful because otherwise, I'm being, I'm being, you know, what's it called? Oh, fuck it
Reclining, I'm getting used to it, like kissing under a bridge
It's an entirely new discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery
And then a couple of weeks at home
And then a couple of weeks away
And then home and away, again
To use up your desire for discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery, discovery
For an instant, you could have pushed through
But it's a plagiarized regret anyway
But what you want for now is someone to feel you
And it's the thing you like, it's threatening to stay
And all this time
It's so nice
Sometimes
It's so nice
The return of the police
