Power Is so Yesterday (Live)

passe power
it's so not hot to
fight your way with force
haven't you heard?
power is so yesterday

it is so last year
to monger strength and
accumulate
haven't you heard?
power is so yesterday

it's not like you get the best seats in heaven
for living in pain
if you feel that you need to strive
just to feel alive
then baby, baby you're in vain

then you say: yes sir
i understand your point
but there is something in me
that needs to be brought out
it'll take the best of me
and a lot of sacrifice
and a few lies

i have to suffer
in order to reap
the luscious fruits of life
and we all know they're not cheap
don't tell me i don't gain from pain
don't tell me it will be the same
the art of suffering is not a game

passe power
it's so not hot to
fight your way with force
haven't you heard?
power is so yesterday

it is so last year
to monger strength and
accumulate
haven't you heard?
power is so yesterday

it's not like you get the best seats in heaven
for living in pain
if you feel that you need to strive
just to feel alive
then baby, baby you're in vain

i guess i'm on the suicide
i'm on the right side
i don't know what else will come on in time
i get enough about
i got enough to shout about
i was always one to sigh
hard
i'll make it
i'll make it doing it the hard way
i love doing it the hard way

"you describe it as light and dark, masculine and feminine, up or down
but you see, everything has its opposing forces, and that's the way your reality has been created up to now
and that, is a very effective way of creating reality, up to a point
up to the point of the spirit and the consciousness wanting to learn from a different way, no longer wanting the same old repeating patterns, good versus bad, drama, drama, drama
your spirit gets to a point where it says "i know now how duality works, i know the battle, i know the opposing forces, and i know neither force can ever win."

passe power

you cannot get the best seats in heaven
for living in pain
it's not like you get the best seats in heaven
for living in pain

then i say: yes sir
i understand your point
that you have something in you
that has to be brought out
but don't you want to live while
you are living out your dream?
instead of rotting in between
the stale ambitions of your scheme
it'll take the opposite of strain
and lack of common sense
it doesn't take a bitch to see
you're barking up that fence
it will not make a difference
how much power you apply
when everything dense
a breath can defy
