The relative power of humanity


Kanye West-Power

I'm livin' in the 21st century

Doin' something mean to it

Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it

Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it

No one man should have all that power

The clock's tickin', I just count the hours

Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power

'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours

Now this'll be a beautiful death

Jumpin' out the window

Lettin' everything go

Lettin' everything go

You got the power to let power come



My Boy Build Coffins-Florence and The Machine

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails

He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails

He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs

He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor

Kings and queens they've all knocked on his door

Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves

They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day

But it's not just for work and it isn't for play

He's made one for himself

One for me too

One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse

Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse

He fits them together in sunshine or rain

Each one is unique, no two are the same

My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame

That when each one's been made, he can't see it again

He crafts everyone with love and with care

Then its thrown in the ground and it just isn't fair

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day

But it's not just for work and it isn't for play

He's made one for himself

One for me too

One of these days he'll make one for you

“The song is about death being the great equalizer. Everyones going to die and then we shall all be in a coffin made by the same guy. We spend our whole lives trying to seperate ourselves and trying to put ourselves above others but in the end we all end up the very same. And the coffin builder knows this and thats why he only builds coffins, because he knows thats the only thing that he can give to everyone no matter who they are.”.
