Subterrenean Homesick Blues

The Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

Johnny's in the basement, mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement, thinking 'bout the governement
Man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, he wants to get paid off (paid off, paid off)
Pay him off

God knows when, but you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alleyway, you're lookin' for a new friend
Man in the coonskin cap by the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
So look out kid

Look out kid
Because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out kid
Because they keep it all hid, loud

Maggie comes fleet foot, face's full of black soot
Talkin' at the heat, put plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May, order from the D.A.
The double D.A.

Walk on your tip toes, don't try "no doz"
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose and a eye on the plain clothes
'Cause you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
Look out kid

Look out kid
Because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out kid
Because they keep it all hid, loud

Looks to me like you did a little too much hittin', kid
You should've took it to the bridge before you started to skid
Look out kid

The good got willin', we'll bebop to Bob Dylan
Chillin' em, thrillin' em, and Red Hot killin' em
Killin' em, 'said killin' em!

Come on, come on

Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well
Ring a bell, hard to tell if anything's gonna sell
Try hard, get barred, get back, write bail
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail

Users, cheaters and the six time losers
Hand around the theatres
Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters
Look out kid

Look out kid
Because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out kid
Because they keep it all hid

Look out kid
Because it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out kid
Because they keep it all hid, loud
