Red Hot Chili Peppers - Funky Monks Lyrics






There are no monks in my band
There are no saints in this land
I'll be doin' all I can
If I die an honest man

Confusion is my middle name
Ask me again I'll tell you the same
Persuaded by one sexy dame
No I do not feel no shame

[Chorus]
You are on the road
Can I get a little lovin' from you
Can I get a little bit of that done did do
You are on the road
Tell me now girl that you need me too
Tell me now girl cause I've got a feeling for you

Every man has certain needs
Talkin' 'bout them dirty deeds
To these needs I must concede
Livin' by my lowly creed

Woman please know that I'm good
Know that I did all I could
But yes it's true likelihood
Of being great is not so good

[Chorus]

There are no monks in my band
There are no saints in this land
I'll be doin' all I can
If I die an honest man

Virtue slipped into my shoe
No I will not misconstrue
More rockin' more rockin' now doobley do
Dancin' down your avenue

[Chorus]

    I Flea, Taught This To...

  5. L.... B....

    This album Camd out in 91 folks!
    When hair metal committed suicide and Alternative rock or grunge if your from Seattle was the only music that mattered.
    Alot of bands where so so fuckin amazing but all had very similar style! All but one!
    This album is till this day I've never ever heard anything like it and I never will!
    Like this song songs like Apache rose and mellowship slinky in b Major songs like if you have to ask!
    This album was mind bblowing from beginning to the very end!
    And beyond it's time. That's why to me in my opinion it's the greatest album by any rock band ever!

    Thank you Ak,Flea, Chad, and to the last piece of the puzzle
    The man that completes this band My Favorite artist, musician John frusciante.
    If it wasn't for you I'd never would have made it this far in my life nor would I have picked up a guitar and write my own .

  6. J.... T....

    Kiedis is a master guitarist for coming up with this riff

  12. C.... L....

    Good guitar solo though.
    Though??......

  13. F.... H....

    Still their greatest album, the combination of rock, funk and rap is unsurpassed on this album. Every song feels unique and there is next to no filler content on the album. Albums such as Californication and By The Way have come close but none have reached this peak.

  14. R.... K....

    Nasty (adjective):
    1.Very bad or unplesant
    2.This riff

  26. R.... A....

    2:56 Hey anthony, check out this solo I made, its a cool solo

  27. F.... O....

    100% influenced by Eric Clapton’s ‘Get Ready’

  28. W.... J....

    The outro to this is truly one of the funkiest things I've ever heard. truly from the planet funk inspired by the god of funk

  37. A.... L....

    It's clear the influence of Jaco in Flea's playing.
