Interpol has an annual budget of around €78 million, most of which is provided through annual contributions by its membership of 190 countries (as of 2015). The organization's headquarters is in Lyon, France. It is the second largest political organization after the United Nations in terms of international representation. In 2013, the Interpol General Secretariat employed a staff of 756, representing 100 member countries. Its current Secretary-General is Jürgen Stock, the former deputy head of Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office. He replaced Ronald Noble, a former United States Under Secretary of the Treasury for Enforcement, who stepped down in November 2014 after serving 14 years. Interpol's current President is Mireille Ballestrazzi, former Deputy Central Director of the French Judicial Police. Her predecessor was Khoo Boon Hui of Singapore.
Interpol is an American rock band from New York City. Formed in 1997, the band's original line-up consisted of Paul Banks (vocals, rhythm guitar), Daniel Kessler (lead guitar, vocals), Carlos Dengler (bass guitar, keyboards) and Greg Drudy (drums, percussion). Drudy left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Sam Fogarino. In 2010, shortly after recording finished for the band's fourth album, Dengler left to pursue personal projects.
Having first performed at Luna Lounge along with other notable bands like The Strokes, Longwave, The National and Stellastarr, they are one of the bands associated with the New York City indie music scene, and was one of several groups that emerged from the post-punk revival of the 2000s. The band's sound is generally a mix of staccato bass and rhythmic, harmonized guitar, with a snare heavy mix, drawing comparisons to post-punk bands such as Joy Division and The Chameleons. Aside from the lyrics, their songwriting method includes all of the band members, rather than relying on any given chief songwriter.

Ancient Ways - Interpol
[Verse 1]
Ooh, fuck the ancient ways
They are heretofore
Shown no claim
[Verse 2]
Ooh, got the time, won't seek
They are oh still coming to paint the street
(At the station)
[Chorus]
The city feeds us all like babes
And we've taken a bow
(At the station)
[Verse 3]
Ooh, shape the fight through sound
Become dutifully bound
To the ground
[Verse 4]
Ooh, fuck the ancient ways
They are ringing doorbells
They ran it by waste
(At the station)
[Chorus 2]
The city needs us and all our names
Enterprise in her eyes
(At the station)
But beneath us an empire grows
Every stage we align
(At the station)
To be beaten by the weight of it
They are to be beaten by the weight
(At the station)
Come be people and enjoy our glow
Every change we allow
(At the station)
[Chorus 3]
The city sees us all like ba...
