| Dead Man's Bones – Pa Pa Power Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I think it's about the police. We want them around to make society better, but they often make things worse. They promise they won't destroy us, and yet their actions say otherwise. The chorus puts me in mind of the military / police using force against civilians. "Pa pa" is the sound of a gun, therefore "pa pa power" is power asserted through violence and fear. | |
