Power and Control Lyrics
Power, and control
Give a little, get a lot,
That’s just how you are with love
Give a little, get a lot,
Yeah you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same,
And still we play the stupid game,
Of love and now a virgin whore,
I’ve played it but not anymore
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Think you’re gonna break my heart
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Yeah you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same,
And still we play the stupid game,
I shouldn’t win ability,
Doesn’t mean that I am weak
That I am weak, I am weak,
I am weak, I am weak, weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same,
But love, but love, must be a game
We give and take a little more,
Eternal game of love and war
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
I’m gonna make you fall,
We give and take a little more,
‘Cause all my life I’ve been controlled,
You can’t have peace without a war,
Without a war, without a war
Give a little, get a lot,
That’s just how you are with love
Give a little, get a lot,
Yeah you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
And still we play the stupid game,
Of love and now a virgin whore,
I’ve played it but not anymore
Think you’re gonna break my heart
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Yeah you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
And still we play the stupid game,
I shouldn’t win ability,
Doesn’t mean that I am weak
I am weak, I am weak, weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
(Ah-ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah), weak,
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
But love, but love, must be a game
We give and take a little more,
Eternal game of love and war
I’m gonna make you fall
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall
I’m gonna make you fall,
‘Cause all my life I’ve been controlled,
You can’t have peace without a war,
Without a war, without a war

Women and men we are the same But love will always be a game We give and take a little more Eternal game of tug and war
and then
Women and men we are the same A human vulnerability Doesn't mean that I am weak That I am weak
I'm not sure why everyone keeps getting those lyrics wrong, I got it on the first listen, haha! Anyway, I love this song. Possibly my favorite off the album.
It's actually the first cut. I think she has like three different versions.
It's actually the first cut. I think she has like three different versions.
A sexist relationship, where they fight for power in the relationship?
My first thoughts thing!
'Yeah you may be good looking but you're not a piece of art' means a lot to me, as it could just be seen as they're not stunning, but also a piece of art is often interesting and challenges the norms, so it could also mean that the person is attractive in a conventional way, but not in a way that makes your jaw drop. It could also, however, mean that the person is only looks. A piece of art you often have to study or consider before you realise the true meaning or message, so to be a piece of art you would have to have a substance and not be stunning at first glance, but interesting to look at until you realise the beauty.
Women and men we are the same, But love, but love must be a game, We even take (?) a little more And turn a ____ talking war (?)
@Cobehn *give and take a little more
@Cobehn *give and take a little more
Women and men we are the same, But love, but love must be a game We give and take a little more Eternal game of tug and war
I love how powerful Marina sounds in this song! One of my new favorites off of Electra Heart.
I think Marina is tired of being taken advantage of, dropped, used, or neglected. The man doesnt contribute to the relationship as much and thinks he's hot stuff. So she has become so tired of being treated unjustly in love, so this time around, SHE wants to be the one in control of things, to make sure she doesn't get hurt.
This song would be perfect for a Game of Thrones edit, maybe Marg or Sansa
