Red Hot Chili Peppers - Save The Population (Album Version)

They recorded 14 songs for the Greatest Hits album but only this and Fortune Faded made it to the CD.

(Lyrics)

History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong

Sing another drinking song the honkytonk will do
Making another breaking bone your favorite ingenue
This the distant dawn
This the distant dawn

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean
Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes round
I'm sure that you will go down

CHORUS:
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population

(Instrumental Bridge)

Pistol and its pawn
Sell it to the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood and border lines be drawn

Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew
History's so strong
History's so strong

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean
Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night we'll save the population....(x10)

@acdc192837465 what are u talking about? i think u got the wrong person. Im talking about the chorus voice in save the population

[acdc192837465]

@rhcp6393 I mean like I never liked Desecration Smile until I heard a little part of it. Now I like Desecration Smile. Not this song is like Desecration Smile.

[rhcp6393]

@acdc192837465 Not really man. its another type of voice. It goes higher and .. listen carefully

[acdc192837465]

@rhcp6393 It's actually 3:15.

[acdc192837465]

I used to not like this song but then I heard some parts of the chorus and now I'm gonna listen to the whole thing. Kind of like Desecration Smile.
