Red Hot Chilli 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

puts 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

kill my trust if you must

but in my blood there is lust

for life

that's right

apache blood is in my heart thrashing though me like a shark

crashing though the dark

what am i supposed to do

i feel like i'm cut into confused

by rules

do these cultures clash or am i living in the past

i ask please tell me fast

to what do i belong and if i change will i be wrong

i took my foot kicked a hole in the sky

i proceeded to plead 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 my 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 and i've got to take action

i'm a man, the animal man
