This is the official alternate video for RHCP's "My Friends" that was recorded during a broadcast of it on MTV. This video was thought to be too 'artsy' for release and that it would alienate fans.
Lyrics (elyrics.net):
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide `cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want to give her 7 years
For being sad
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
Imagine me
Taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love
No matter what
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

Recently, a young girl in my school was bullied to the point of suicide, the first stanza in this song explains EXACTLY how everything is in school. I feel so bad.

something extremely romantic about songs like this in an era where fb or twitter or any of the social congestion networks didn exist
