We Got the Power Lyrics

[Chorus]
We got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?
We got the power to be
Ringing the great bell out there above us
We got the power for that
We got the power to do that

[Verse 1: Jehnny Beth & 2D]
And, we dream of home
I dream of life out of here
Their dreams are small
My dreams don't know fear
(I got all you)
I got my heart full of hope
I will change everything
No matter what I'm told
How impossible it seems
(We got the power)
We did it before
And we'll do it again
We're indestructible
Even when we're tired
And we've been here before
Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me
I don't need to be rescued

[Chorus: 2D & Jehnny Beth]
We've got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?
We've got the power to be
Ringing the great bell out there above us
We've got the power for that
We got the power to do that

[Verse 2: 2D]
Get yourself up to the silent altar
And call me
But don't forget the machines
'Cause if your choice is chipping it down on the M1 (1, 1, 1)
Then you'll wake up in the morning
You'll be storming, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: 2D & Jehnny Beth]
We've got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?
We've got the power to be
Ringing the great bell out there above us
We've got the power to do that
We got the power, power, power-pow-power
We got the power

[Outro: 2D]
We got the power

Cover art for We Got the Power lyrics by Gorillaz

The song is meant as a positive ending to the darkness of the Humanz album, telling us that no matter what happens, we always have the power to put aside our differences to help make things better. Proven by Damon singing the song with Noel Gallagher, his big rival during the 90s.

Feels like an SJW circlejerk. The devil works under the guise of "love".

Song Meaning

@Double44 have you ever watched any gorillaz song videos (saturnz barz spirit house, we got the power, let me out)?

@dankestmeme420 Well considering the album was released a month before the actual release date, I think I've heard it all. The "videos" for Let Me Out and We Got the Power aren't exactly videos. You do know right, that Albarn has a 'distaste' for Donald Trump? Thanks for thumbing me down, I'll be sure to return the favor.

@Double44 Fair, I guess.

i think the song and video symbolize the group becoming trapped in an infinite loop between saturnz barz and let me out and show there last bit of hope and stubbornness before let me out (there plea for help).
