The Power Of Equality Lyrics - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers

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 

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 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 

It fills me up like a hollow tree 

The power of equality

Well, 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 

I 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 

It fills me up like a 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
