Songwriters: Balzary, Michael Peter; Frusciante, John; Smith, Chad; Kiedis, Anthony;Swing    I've got a soul that cannot 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 menace 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    Well, I've got tapes, I've got CD'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  I 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 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    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 cannot, 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  What ever happened to humanity  What ever happened to humanity  What ever happened to humanity      © MOEBETOBLAME MUSIC;    these lyrics are last corrected by Dom
