LCD Soundsystem - Pow Pow lyrics

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

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 kind of like eating myself to death



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)

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

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 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?

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 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?

And so 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)
(The return of the police)

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)

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 that's the thing you like
Is planning to stay

And all this time it's so nice
It's so nice it's so nice

(The return of the police)
