Power and Freedom Songtext
von Iggy Pop

Alright
This is a song about feeling like you got no power
And no fuckin′ freedom
Let's go

All my life I′ve been polite but
I'm afraid it's glue in my butt
I′m a man, I know what I want
Gonna take some nerve to get it

When you feel alone and dead
Like you′re living in your head
You want power, you want freedom

I'm gonna tell that girl my story
′Cause, baby, you might like my story

When you feel all cut off
And nobody gives you talk
You want power, you want freedom


The loneliness will craze ya
And no one cool will save ya
And the system wants to waste ya
You need power, freedom

One by one, the lives turn over
If you don't jump, your life is over

Gettin′ out is all that matters
When your spirit's getting flattened
You need power, you need freedom

The loneliness will craze ya
And no one cool will save ya
And the system wants to slave ya
You want power, freedom

When you feel alone and dead
Like you′re living in your head
And you're feeling all cut off
Nobody gives you talk

It's alright
Yeah, it′s alright
Yeah, it′s alright
I said it's alright


No one cool will save ya
The system′s built to waste ya
The loneliness will craze ya
Craze ya, craze ya, craze ya

Get out
Alright, alright, how are you?
You alright?
Alright
Here's a little thing called "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell"
