RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky lyrics

rate me

I cry, I cry

I was born in a land

I don't think you understand

God damn what I am

I'm a native of this place

Please don't kick me in my face

My race has been disgraced

Won't somebody testify

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Slap a liar in his eye

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

I wonder why, why

Put us in a pumpkin shell

Where you keep us very well

It's hell, where I dwell

When history books are full of shit

I become the anarchist

I'm pissed at this

What this country claims to be

It's a lie

No place for me

I bleed

Won't somebody testify

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Slap a liar in his eye

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

I decide to defy

Kill my trust if you must

But in my blood there is the lust

For life that's right

Apache blood is in my heart

Thrashing though me like a shark

Crashing through the dark

Won't somebody testify

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Slap a liar in his eye

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

I confide, confide

What am I supposed to do

I feel like I'm cut in two

Confused by rules

Do these two cultures clash

Or am I living in the past

I ask please tell me fast

Won't somebody testify

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Slap a liar in his eye

Kick a hole right in the sky

Testify, testify kick a hole right in the sky

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

I, that's right

To what do I belong

And if I change will I be wrong

Be wrong, that's wrong

I took my foot and kicked a hole in the sky

I proceeded to plead for Fathers help me decide

A jagged flash of light struck me in the eye

I turned around and found that I was still alive

Snakes rise high from the purple black sky

The red cloud rains and the black horse rides

Then it dawned on me like the mornin' sun

I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin' comes

Glowing embers tend to remember when

The power that is peace was treated as a friend

I am a master of adaption and I've got to take action

I'm a man, the animal man
