The Power Of Equality Lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Power Of Equality Lyrics

    I've got a soul
    That can not 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 (chorus)
    It fills me up like a 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 Ku Klux Klan
    I don't buy supremacy
    Media chief
    You menance me
    The people you say
    Cause all the crime
    Wake up motherfucker
    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

    (chorus)

    I've got tapes
    I've got c.d.'s
    I've got my Public Enemy
    My lilly white ass
    Is tickled pink
    When I listen to the music
    That makes me think
    Not another
    Motherfuckin' 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

    (chorus)

    Madder than a motherfucker
    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 pissed
    No I can not
    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
    Whatever happened to humanity
