“Powder to The People” is the tenth track off Happiness, Dance Gavin Dance’s third LP. It was released on June 9th 2009.
The title is a pun of the cultural expression “power to the people”. Replacing power with powder alludes to the overall themes of the party / drug lifestyle and references metham...
[Verse 1: Kurt Travis]
You threw me away, just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
You threw me away just like all the others
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
It's been seven days and not a single word
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
[Chorus: Kurt Travis]
Make everything happen exactly like our love
Just like the ones before, just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing
[Hook: Kurt Travis]
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
[Verse 2: Will Swan]
I see comfort, you see security
I see comfort, you see security
[Pre-Chorus: Kurt Travis]
You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
[Chorus: Kurt Travis]
Make everything happen exactly like our love
Just like the ones before, just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing
[Bridge: Will Swan]
What are you but a yellow-purple zebra?
Contacts so I can see clearer?
Write these words in stone, I'm a magnet;
Cause tension and retract it
Please ask me again, 'cause I didn't hear it
Get settled in, 'cause you can't be here yet
All partied out on strangers favors
How you act like my friend but we're only neighbors
Excuse me, pardon the eruption
I walk up, press all the buttons
I'll talk down, stress all the functions
I always gotta be starting something
So, "powder to the people"
'Cause the fight for rights is equal
"Powder to the people"
'Cause the fight for rights is equal
[Hook: Kurt Travis]
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
And for you it's all the same, all the same
[Outro: Kurt Travis, Will Swan]
You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
Content with who we are
Driving our fast cars
Through thin lanes on long roads
So much to behold
Greatest country? Where you been
To form that opinion?
See it, believe it: celebrity leadership
