Enjoy it in HD!

Lyrics:
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 Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Media chief
You menace 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

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 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

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 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 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

  • @Trashboldus This concert was released in DVD

  • @EoinF745 The big difference is; the Chili Peppers were not popular when Hillel and Jack were with the band. The fact that Anthony, Flea, John and Chad were the longest running lineup makes them the classic Chili Peppers. Not to mention that lineup produced Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium; their most commercially and critically acclaimed albums. Unless you are a die hard Chili's fan, you don't know who the hell Hillel and Jack are.

  • how was this recorded? the sound is amazing...

  • @adamgergich96 So true lol

  • @everlyredhot Do you not know that the red hot chili peppers was Hillel Slovak, Jack Iron, Anthony Kiedis and Flea....

    John Frusciante was a replacement for Hillel after they went through a few guitarists

    JUST LIKE JOSH

    The red hot chili peppers will continue on and on and still be the red hot chili peppers forever ....

  • 03:10 <3

  • when the red hot chili peppers were still the red hot chili peppers...
