Hand It Over
MGMT Lyrics

The deals we made to shake things up
The agreements or arrangements we formulated to cause some novelty, disruption and changes

And the rights that they abuse
The power or authority they have which they misuse or exploit

Might just fuck us over
It may result in a disadvantageous or harmful outcome

But the doors won't shut
The opportunities or options are still available

Until they're sure there's nothing left to use
Until they are certain that all means have been exhausted or exploited

Someone's taking over
Someone is gaining control or authority over the situation

Threw it away, but now I say
Disposed of it previously, but now I am asserting

It's time to hand it over
It is time to surrender or relinquish ownership, control or power

The joke's worn thin, the king stepped in
The humorous or amusing aspect has become stale or obsolete, and an authoritative figure has intervened

Now we'll see who is who
A judgment or assessment will be made to ascertain people's characters or abilities

Look who's bending over
Take notice of who is yielding or submitting to a more dominant entity

But the stars weren't wrong, the time felt right
The predictions or expectations didn't prove erroneous, and the moment seemed apt or appropriate

We both knew it was true
Both parties recognized or acknowledged the verity or reality of the situation

The smart ones exit early
The intelligent or astute individuals leave before it is too late

And the rest hope for a shoulder
The remaining people rely on others for support or guidance

If we lose our touch, it won't mean much
In case we become inept or lose our competence, it won't have a significant impact

If everyone's confused
If all individuals are perplexed or uncertain

Which door do we open?
Which option or course of action should we pursue?

It's the same old trick
It is the identical or customary deception or tactic

They played their hand
They utilized their strategy or resources

Now there's one thing to left to do
Now, there exists only one option or action to take

It's time (hand it over)
Now, it is the appropriate moment to surrender or relinquish power or control (hand it over)

It's yours and it's mine (hand it over)
It belongs to both parties and hence, both parties should give it up or relinquish control (hand it over)

One thing on my mind (hand it over)
I am solely focused on the action of surrendering or relinquishing control (hand it over)

It's rightfully mine (hand it over)
I have a legitimate entitlement over it and should rightfully claim it (hand it over)

In the dark (hand it over)
In a state of uncertainty, vagueness or obscurity, it is time to take action (hand it over)

What's yours is mine (hand it over)
What belongs to you, should also be surrendered or relinquished in this scenario (hand it over)

Mmm, make it right (hand it over)
Emphasizing the need to rectify, restore or make things fair and just by surrendering or relinquishing power or control (hand it over)

And give me what's mine (hand it over)
Surrender or relinquish what is legally, ethically or rightfully mine(hand it over)

Oh, this time (hand it over)
Making a definitive statement about the need to act now, rather than later (hand it over)

Hey, it's time to (hand it over)
Calling attention to the necessity to take action(hand it over)

Mmm, anytime (hand it over)
Anytime or anywhere, it is time to surrender or relinquish power or control(hand it over)

It's yours and it's mine (hand it over)
Acknowledging that mutually, both parties own it and hence, the need for mutual action regarding surrendering or relinquishing power or control(hand it over)

Oh, I need time (hand it over)
Asking for some extra time to contemplate and assess before taking the steps to surrender or relinquish power or control (hand it over)

No, no it's rightfully mine (hand it over)
Asserting the legitimate and principled entitlement for the need to claim, surrender or relinquish power or control (hand it over)
