Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Power Of Equality Lyrics

Would love to bring back the heavy funk from this era. They have gotten poppier and mellower which I understand because they are getting older but with Johnny back in the band would love to get at least one massive badass Funk album from them before they call it a day

How the American Empire got China all wrong and will regret that. Hubristic melt down coming soon

Rhcp blood,surgar.

dont forget me na minha opinião é a melhor musica deles de todos os albuns, e ela se encontra justamente no album by the way. então regis, não viaja.

Boys and girls, Frusciante is back in town!!!

Did the current guitarist get ditched because of John getting back?

skydivemaniac nah josh went to do his own thing :))

JOHN IS COMING BACK, BABYYYY!!!!!!!!

I bought this album from the Columbia house store for 3 bucks. Right next to the first Sony cd making factory.

Lmao. Dude my friends and I were recently talking about Columbia House. Oooh how we got so many CDs. 👏😂

This made me a fan for life!

This song reminds me of N.W.A

Red hot chili peppers are spectacular and this album is one of my favorites.

This album was released 28 years ago...

There last great album before they went to shit.

Que bandaaa!!!

Que sooom!!!

Que letraaaa!

this record changed my perception of music in ways almost nothing else did, timeless in every sense.

This record and band are super relevant. It was RHCP and Jane’s Addiction for my friends and me.

I've got a soul that can not sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red, but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Media chief, you menance me
The people you say cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

I've got tapes
I've got c.d.'s
I've got my Public Enemy
My lilly white ass is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Not another motherfuckin' politician
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
Never touch the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
To create straight what is true
Yo he's with me and what I do
My name is peace, this my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
Can't forget, cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick, little piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
I've got a welt from the Bible belt
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
No I can not get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr. Bigot
Little brother do you hear me
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
What I see is insanity
Whatever happened to humanity

Feliz cumpleaños, discazo...

28 years, today it's your birthday, I love you, you're my favorite song from BSSM.

happy album birthday boys!

Happy birthday to this magic album.

I can't help but think he sounds like Kermit the Frog at some points in this song

🌹 🌶🔥 🇧🇷

One, two
One, two, three, four
I've got a Soul that can not sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood Red, but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight

Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power

The Power Of Equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree (hallow tree)
The Power Of Equality

Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy

Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power

The Power Of Equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree (hallow tree)
The Power Off Equality

I've got tapes
I've got C.D.'S
I've got my Public Enemy

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS THE BEST.

The Power Of Equality

Best fucking band ever period.! I fucking love this band!

Have to say that i love Freaky Styley, but BSSM is definitely their best album.

these lyrics should be pasted on every street lamp and at the door of every building.
so that people would never forget.

Temazoooo alguno de Argentina ?

Queres rock ? Los Peppers te lo dan. Queres funk al palo? Los Peppers te lo dan

THUG 2 what a damn good videogame and a fucking good song!

i saw the chili peppers tour for this album with pearl jam and smashing pumpkins at roseland ballroom in manhattan.what a time to be alive and enjoy the music.

Dude no doubt. I went to all of the Lollapalooza festivals of the 90’s except the first one. Those bands are now iconic. Most definitely a great time to be alive. We made it out alive my brother. 🤘

That must have been the best show ever. I have seen al 3 of those bands, albeit on 3 separate occasions, and they are all awesome live!

Holy FUNK

I'm only 22 years old and I love this album and the Chili Pepper's period. I was definitely born in the wrong decade haha. This album kicks ass! I love the funky rock thing they had going on

"A change of brain for mr. bigot" 🔥🔥🔥

can i get just a little bit of power? - Trump

Red Hot Chili Peppers, anyone?

War dance

Hope that bass was 18 years old...

@Capcoor you have to slap a bass

Matesalva What does that have to do with hoping the bass was 18 years old?

@Capcoor it's only a joke, idiot. I wish you are 9 years old...

Best comment, ever.

Matesalva Who are you calling idiot, idiot?

seen RHCP back in the 80's

You deserve a veterans account

Lucky, that’s awesome!

One of their best songs.

Thug 2!

Ice Kiedis

THUG 2 brought me here

I agree with you, 357mag1977.

What ever happened to huge manatees?

I agree with you, Blink Day.

One of the most monumental Albums of the 90s

swing batter batter swing, batter batter.....Swing!

red blood, hot sugar, chili sex & peppers magik

Indeed fellas Love some EqUaLiY🤗☢❤

This is my first time hearing this album and I'm loving how funky it is

Best opening track to my first bought album... EVER?

My ears fucking loved this!

A friend/ local band member introduced me to this band. I worked for macy and came home to this! Loving RHCP ever since. Saaw the at Lalapalooze in Atlants, Sipknot, Disturbed best show!

This is their best album period. It's kickass from start to finish.

rain73ful I also think Mothers Milk and OHM are great albums to be the pre/post BSSM era

Did I mention a young John F on the axe! Top 10 guitarist imo

melonhead34 top 10 easy, personally my favorite

He is right behind Hendrix IMO

1991 Flashback! This was and still is a killer Album. From start to stop. They were ahead of their time for sure!

It was but so was Nevermind and Ten. All three came out within months of each other.

Ive gotta say pearl jam and nirvana were great butt dont speak to me the same idk why

Truer than ever.

Harry Bauer boi you gay

What does that have to do with anything

+Christian Vazquez The lyrics tell the story and say it all.

I was asking Nathan why called you gay. I understand these lyrics make a lot of sense right now

+Christian Vazquez Oh, yeah. Forgot about that comment well worth ignoring. Mutual love for the Peppers, my friend.

THPS3, anyone?

I think it was Tony Hawks Underground 2. Fight like a Brave was in THPS3.

Autistic Artist underground 2 for the PSP also

No,it was THUG 2

Vintage RHCP.

Nah, vintage are their 80s albums.

I'm 80,000th viewer

TheMRMACHONACHO congratulations

ISRAEL PINA congratulations for being the first comment on the 80,000 viewer’s comment

Sick Bass lines a classic Album !!!!

ed chadis not as good as One Hot Minute

best album ever..the fist time i heard this i was 12ish..now im 38ish..i still love it

Jake I thought I was the only one....I can fuck thru the entire album...3 times!!!

Hell yeah, agree 100%... never thought at 36 it would still be my favorite.

I was 10 and was mind blown! Shout out to my cousin David for bringing this down from Jersey with him that summer putting us on to this Album. Its a Fucking Masterpiece! Every influence they all had collaboratively or on their own as well as new stuff they heard at the time comes through and out on this album. Rick Rubin is a monster in studio!

Totally agree. Took about 5 or 6 listens for me to really appreciate how good it is, but that is the beauty of a great album

Fuck yeah.. I don't think they'll make another like it

Love this song/album so very much!

Best song ever

Ryb ignore him he’s a Blink 182 Fan he has no taste

Better words have never been spoken.

Dallin 2323 fuck off cunt

I think I agree with Blink Day on this. I'm not a Blink 182 fan, but I agree with Blink Day on this.

Indeed.
Flea is a straight up beast.

You got it, Brady.

No doubt about it. Flea is raw.

One of the best in the business.
