Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down (Official Music Video)

Song facts:

"Knock Me Down" is a song by the funk rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from their fourth studio album, Mother's Milk (1989). The track was released as the album's first single and depicts a negativity towards the stereotypically egotistic lifestyle of a typical rock-star and was considered to be disavowing of drugs. "Knock Me Down" became the band's first hit by peaking at number six on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks.
Vocalist Anthony Kiedis and guitarist John Frusciante sing the lyrics simultaneously, but the track was mixed in such a way that Frusciante's vocals are more prevalent than Kiedis'. The original, longer version of this song is featured on the bonus Mother's Milk CD, which contains additional verses and an extended bridge. In this version, Kiedis' vocals are mixed to appear more prominent.
In 1988, former guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose. The song serves as a tribute to Slovak; according to Kiedis, "it was a song that described what it was like to be a drug addict, to have that ego and to think you were impenetrable and impervious to the forces of nature and life. But it was also a love song for Hillel."
"Knock Me Down" is a playable track on Guitar Hero: On Tour.

I absolutely love song! Big thanks to http://www.youtube.com/user/rosemaryv27 for the video!

Lyrics:


Verse 1-
Never too soon to be through.
Being cool, too much too soon.
Too much for me and too much for you.
You're gonna lose in time.
Don't be afraid to show your friends.
That you hurt inside (inside).
Pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride...
It's a lie.. your lie.

Chorus- 2x
If you see me getting by,
If you see me getting high,
Knock me down.
I'm not bigger than life

Verse 2-
I'm tired of being untouchable.
I'm not above the love.
I'm part of you and you're part of me.
Why did you go away?
Finding what you're looking for
Can end up being, being such a bore.
I pray for you most every day.
My love's with you, now fly away.

Chorus 2x

Instrumental Break

Chorus 6x

-Woman singing-

It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself.. it's so lonely. 4x

-Fades-
