The Power Of Equality.

[coloradodem2005]

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 x 3

1. It's so obvious with this song that the Chili Peppers are Republicans

God Bless The Chilis :)

2. You are joking right?

I know that they were supporting Kerry in 2004. I bet they supported Clinton too.

3. Dude I'm totally joking

If I ever heard any member of the RHCP (my second favorite band of all time btw) utter anything positive about the American Taliban Party I would make a tinfoil hat.

4. Who's your favorite band then?

[noahmijo]

5. That would be Dream Theater

Started listening to them in 1990 just before they got Labrie.

Funny I know my two favorite bands are nothing alike yet interestingly Dream Theater's drummer is actually a HUGE RHCP fan.

6. I love Dream Theater.

Especially "Images and Words" and "Awake". They are awesome.
