Pow Pow Songtext
von LCD Soundsystem

From this position, I will relax
From this position, I can see the whole place
From this position, 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 advantage 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

And 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 in the gang blank
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 Valance

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? The well?


I′m paralyzed and looking through you
But if nothing's right, we try anyway
As we compromised an arrogant person
I′m amazed at my decision to blame

On this occasion, there are a couple of things
That we know that we learned 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 your TV

So while times have been tough, and times have been tough
You have been put down, washed up, erased out
But honestly, and be honest with yourself, how much time do you waste?
How much time do you blow every day?

I just 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, pow, pow, pow, pow

The return of the police

With you on the inside, 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 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 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 planning to stay

And all this time, ah
It′s all time
It's all time, timing, time
It′s all time, always

It's the return of the police!
