Indeed it may
seem that we have strange ways But we do it with compassion and don't
believe in age Travel 'round the world gettin' naked on the stage
Bustin' people out of their everyday cage We like to think we make
a sad man happy And we like to make proud our mammy and pappy
Funky young kings we sing of truth and soul We're the modern day
braves with one strong hold Through the world of song our boldness is
exposed I'm talkin' 'bout my buddy's funk it up fishbone
Good,
good time boys, make me feel good Give me good times, yea, yea, yea
yea ! (Bis)
Our devotion to emotion is more than evident
To the minds that are open it's you we represent We hope you have
enjoyed the time that you have spent One day the good time boys might
jest be president Like a pack of mad hatters who come from outer space
Our swinging's gonna shatter every stone cold face Now you may not
know the exact reason why A band commands attention from the mountains
and the sky Makin' more that money more than money can buy I stop
and take a listen to the monsters try
Good, good time boys, make
me feel good Give me good times, yea, yea, yea yea ! (Bis)
If you don't believe me you can ask John Doe 'Cause his heart
is made of glory and his voice is make of gold He'll tell you in a
minute about the men he knows He'll tell you 'bout the band called
Fire Hose To those of you who doubt the nature of our spirit We
play it out loud for everyone to hear it Building up our brains with
the supernatural powers We take it from the trees and the mighty watts
towers Aim the flame of freedom at the lames and sours We're the
best of the west and the west is ours
Good, good time boys, make
me feel good Give me good times, yea, yea, yea yea ! x 4

Step right up and
listen please You're gonna get it with the greatest of ease Well,

get in before you get out And gettin' out is what it's gonna be about
If you find that you are blind Open your bashful mind Let my
band step inside and take you on a cosmic ride Let my band step inside
and take you on a cosmic ride
With honest sounds I'll paint your
brain For in this song I do proclaim That once aboard this moving
train I'll do my best to ease your pain Slinky as my speech may be
On this trip you'll ride for free As we leave our trailer spots
Well, outer space is lots of dots This axis bold as love you see
comes and goes too easily This axis bold as love you see comes and
goes too easily

L.A. Lakers fast
break makers Kings of the court shake and bake all takers Back to
back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains intact
M-A-G-I-C see
you on the court Buck has come to play his way and his way is to
thwart M-A-G-I-C magic of the buck Other teams pray for dreams but
he don't give a fuck
Penetrating the lane like a bullet train
Comes the magic blood a telepathic brain Knucklehead suckers
better duck When the buck comes through like a truck
Scott
stops pops and drops it in On his way back gets a little skin From
the hand of a man named A.C.Green Slam so hard break your T.V. screen
Worthy's hot with his tomahawk Take it to the hole make your mamma
talk I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble Is
coming to your town and he's going to make rubble

M-A-G-I-C ...
M-A-G-I-C ...
Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
'Cause they've got more moves than a bowl of jelly The Buck stops
here -pops- then cheers A roar through the forum that deafens my ears
The one and only know Of his kind sits in a throne Not for the
records that he holds But for being bald and bold Kareem Abdul
Jabbar All time great super super star I hate to burst your bubble
but triple double trouble Is coming to your town and he's gonna make
rubble
Does anybody want some Magic Johnson ? (x4)

Nobody Weird Like Me
par Anthony Kiedis, Flea,
John Frusciante & Chad Smith.
The freakiest
show I know is the show of my own Living my life in and out of the
twilight zone
Chorus : Bust my britches Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature Walking totem pole Look and see I think
you'll agree Nobody weird like me
Intercourse with a porpoise
is a dream for me Hell bent on inventing a new species
Chorus
Riding down the path on the back of a giraffe Me and the
giraffe laughed 'cause I passed some gas
Chorus
Enchanted
as a rabbit that my life is a dream Well everything is never just as
it seems
The freakiest show I know is the show of my own
Living my life in and out of the twilight zone
Knock Me Down

Never too soon to
be through Being cool too much too soon Too much for me too much
for you You're gonna loose in time
Don't be afraid to show
your friends That you hurt inside, inside Pain's part of life
don't hide behind your false pride It's a lie, your lie
Chorus : If you see me getting mighty If you see me getting
high Knock me down I'm not bigger than life (Bis)
I'm
tired of being untouchable I'm not above the love I'm part of you
and you're part of me Why did you go away
Finding what you're
looking for Can end up being such a bore I pray for you most every
day My love's with you now fly away
Chorus
Chorus (x3)
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself It's so
lonely...
Every turn looking to burn Some never learn live
and learn Stop your searching for a curse Before you end up in a
hearse
Don't slip away and don't forget I'll give you more
than you can get It's so lonely when you don't even know Yourself,
come to me
Too late to tell you how I feel I want you back but
I get real Can you hear my falling tears Making rain where you lay
Taste The Pain
par Anthony Kiedis, Flea,
John Frusciante & Chad Smith.
Flat on my back
In a lonely sprawl I stare at the ceiling Because I can not
fall Asleep tonight No, not at all
Head lights flash
Across my bedroom wall Crying eyes open Because I can not fall
In love with you No, not at all
Chorus : Walk away and
taste the pain Come again some other day Aren't you glad you
weren't afraid Funny how the price gets paid (Bis)
Busted
in two Like a brittle stick I can not drink Because my throat
constricts Lovesick from you That will never do
Open my
mouth I couldn't make a sound I could not scream You know I
could not shout It out to you Nothing to do
Chorus
This may come As a shocking surprise I have to take a walk
I have to kiss it goodbye Goodbye my love Goodbye my love
I am not alive
Chorus

Rubbin' elbows with the big wigs at my sold out shows I've been on
every cover even rolling stone
Chorus : Put us on MTV All

Hair so smooth, black as coal Aw baby the way you sway

marmalade What more can I say She's my sexy mexican maid
Chorus
She puts me in a bubble bath She tickles me and

Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky
par Anthony Kiedis, Flea,
John Frusciante & Chad Smith.
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
Chorus : 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 want to ride... wild
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
Chorus
I will decide... to confide
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 through me like a shark
Crashing, through the dark
Chorus
I confide... to
fight
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
Chorus
I write...
that's right
To what do I belong and if I change will I be wrong
Be wrong, that's strong 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 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 a... and I've got to take action I'm a man, the
animal man
