Powder to the People Lyrics

you threw me away
just like all the others
it's been seven days
and not a single word

you threw me away
(after you it's all the same, all the same)
just like all the others
(after you it's all the same, all the same)
it's been seven days
(after you it's all the same, all the same)
and not a single word
(after you it's all the same, all the same)

make everything happen exactly like i know
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

after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same

i'll take comfort, you'll take security
i'll take comfort, you'll take security

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

make everything happen just exactly like i know
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

what are you but a yellow, purple zebra?
contacts so i can see clearer
write these words in stone i'm a magnet
i 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 stranger's favors
how you act like we're friends
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

after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same
after you it's all the same, all the same

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 in our 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

....Powder?

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

Maybe you guys should actually look up the song names before jumping down someone's throat...

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

yeah power to the people sounds lame

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

POWDER?

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

yeah, it's not a typo, he legit says powder in the song and it was said on some other forum by zach that it is powder not power

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

the rapping part and end screaming part are now 100% accurate, based on a post from zac in co&ca forums

Cover art for Powder to the People lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

who does the rap? imagine if it was jon...

will does the rap

Well DUH the only black member does the rap. Though I originally thought it might've been Zac, just because it seemed like something he would do. I dunno.

god i am so glad johnny craig left the band! He would never allow a rap in one of his songs, his music is all the same. kinda boring if ya ask me. set aside from a few songs he did.

I heard from a source that its his accent...so it just sounds like powder. yeah~~ kid kid~~ Why couldnt they have screamed instead of rapped that portion of the song...

Nope. It is "Powder"

Your source sucks.

deffo powder. typical of dgd to do that. that's a good thing i should add. also i think it works better with the rap. why do it screaming the way everyone else would, it's more unique with the rap. my old band was a screamo band, but we love hip hop so used rap/samples and such loads coz it set us apart from everyone else. thats what dgd are, set apart from other bands in theyre 'genre'

www.myspace.com/wearethedeal is my old band btw if ya wanna check lol.

hmmm...nice point there. ;P diffidently. They always have such unique intro...well every album is.

nice dude, ya i personally love the rap, and plus, its only in one song out of the whole album so its not really a big deal. Its just unique

One of my favorites from the album...love the part when he goes "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".

favorite part =]
