From this position I will relax From this position I can see the whole place From this position 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 You on the outside Me on the inside There's advantage to both And me being uptight And you being all right There's advantages to each 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 in the gang blank There's 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 I have been untied And you are all cross-eyed There's 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 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 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? So 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 With you on the inside Me on the outside There's advantage to both With me being wired And you being tired There's advantages to each 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, f*ck 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 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 The return of the police!
