Red Hot Chili Peppers The power of equality Lyrics

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.

I've got a soul that cannot sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks Of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (hollow tree)
The power of equality

Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Klu Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Media chief, you menace me
The people you say, cause all the crime
Wake up m_________er and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear?
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (hollow tree)
The power of equality

I've got tapes, I've got CD's
I've got my public enemy
My lilly white a__ is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Not another m_________in' politician
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
Never touch, the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
To create straight what is true
Yo he's with me and what I do
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (hollow tree)
The power of equality

Madder than a m_________er lick my finger
Can't forget 'Cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick, little piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
I've got a welt from the bible belt
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get p___ed
No I cannot get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr Bigot

Little brother do you hear me
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
What I see is insanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity.
