Red Hot Chili Peppers - Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics
Johnnys in the basement mixing up the medicineIm on the pavement thinking about the govermentThe man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,Says hes got a bad cough: wants to get it paid offGod knows when but youre doin it again!You better duck down the alleyway lookinfor a new friendThe man in the coonskin cap by the big penWants eleven dollar bills: you only got tenLook out, kidLook out, kid, its somethin that you didLook out, kid, cause they keep all hidMaggie comes fleet foot, face full of black sootTalkin at the heat put plants in the bed butThe phones tapped anyway, maggie says that many sayThey must bust in early mayOrders from the d.a.Walk on your tip toes, dont try no dozBetter stay away from those that carry around a fire hoseKeep a clean nose, watch the plain clothesYou dont need a weather man to know which way the wind blowsLook out, kidLook out, kid, its somethin that you didLook out, kid, cause they keep all hidLooks to me like you didA little to much hittin kidYou shouldve took it to the bridgeBefore you started to skidLook out, kidThe good God willin, well bebop to bob dylanChillinem, thrillinem, and red hot killinemKillinemGet sick, get well, hand around a ink wellRing bell, hard to tell if anything is goin to sellTry hard, get barred, get back, write brailleGet jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you failBut users, cheaters, six time losersHand around the theatresGirl by the whirlpool lookin for a new foolDont follow leaders, watch the parkin metersLook out, kidLook out, kid, its somethin that you didLook out, kid, cause they keep all hid
