Pow Pow

by LCD Soundsystemon This Is Happening

[Verse 1]

From this position

I will relax

From this position

I can see the whole place

From this position

Oh, oh just relax

From this position

I make some stand

I make my peace with the man

[Chorus]

And it goes pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

It goes pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

[Verse 2]

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 kind of like eating myself to death

[Interlude]

With 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)

[Verse 3]

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 neighbourhood

Which is important

You know, there's a lot of good places to eat

[Chorus]

And so it’s 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

It goes pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

[Interlude]

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 Vilanch)

Now 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?

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 4]

On this occasion, there are a couple of things that we know that we 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 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?

[Chorus]

And so it's pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

Oh, pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

So pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

Pow

Pow, pow, pow, pow

(The return of the police)

[Interlude]

With you on the inside

And me on the outside

There's advantages to both

(Advantages to both)

With me being wired

And you being tired

There's advantages to each

(Advantages, advantages)

[Verse 5]

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

[Outro]

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 that's the thing you like

Is planning to stay

And all this time

It's so nice

(The return of the police)
