Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky

[Intro: Flea with Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]

…Does that star-spangled banner yet wave?

Ha-ha-ha

[Refrain 1: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I-I, I, I cry, I cry

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]

I was born in a land, I don't think you understand

Goddamn what I am

I'm a native of this place, please don't kick me in my face

My race has been disgraced

[Pre-Chorus 1: Anthony Kiedis]

Porkball

Stick a dick on

Wild bitch

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]

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

[Refrain 2: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I-I, I, I wonder why…why?

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]

Put us in your 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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Anthony Kiedis]

Porkball

Stick a dick on

Porkball

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]

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

[Refrain 3: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I-I, I decide to defy

[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]

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

[Pre-Chorus 3: Anthony Kiedis]

Porkball

Stick a dick on

Pussycat

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]

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

[Refrain 4: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I-I, I can fight, confide

[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis]

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

[Pre-Chorus 4: Anthony Kiedis]

Porkball

Stick a dick on

Wild bitch

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]

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

[Refrain 5: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, I, that's right

[Verse 5: Anthony Kiedis]

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, will 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 morning sun

I'm a part of two worlds, and the morning comes

Glowing embers tend to remember when

The power that is peace was treated as a friend

I'm a master of objection and I've got to take action

I'm a man, the animal man
