The Power Lyrics

Cover art for The Power lyrics by Suede

This song is about a sense of powerlessness towards the discontents around the world.

The song is pretty self-explanatory - Brett saw a lot of people suffering around the world. The verses describe tragedies like death, poverty, lack of freedom, no hope in ones' real lives. He wanted to help them get out of the situation, but he lacked the power to do so.
