[Flame] 🔥 Red Hot Chili Peppers - 21st Century Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
All the creatures on the beaches
Making waves in a motion picture
Won’t you keep this in between us?
Search and seizure; wake up, Venus!
The dollar bill will mentally ill bill
Mom and dad, take your don’t-be-sad pill
Turn the screw and twist my language
Don’t forsake me, I’m contagious
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
There’s a reason for the 21st century
Not too sure, but I know that it’s meant to be
And that it’s meant to be
Come on (Ooh!)
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
It’s my favorite combination
A—Coming down with the favored nations
Deep rotation, mutilation
A—Learn to give and take dictation
[Refrain: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Like Cain and Abel
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Uh, time to run this table
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
There’s a reason for the 21st century
Not too sure, but I know that it’s meant to be
And that it’s meant to be
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis]
Read me your scripture now
Read me your scripture
Read me your scripture and I will twist it
Show me your wrist, and I—
Show me your wrist, and—
Show me your wrist and I’ll kiss it, kiss it
[Refrain: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Like Cain and Abel
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
It’s time to run this table
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Simple soldier, hand it over
Stop and read what you just wrote her
Strangulation, altercation
Oral sex and bird migration
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
There’s a reason for the 21st century
Not too sure, but I know that it’s meant to be
And that it’s meant to be (C’mon!)
(Ah-aah) There’s a reason for the 21st century
(Ah-aah) Not too sure, but I know that it’s meant to be (Ah-aah)
And that it’s meant to be (Ah-aah)
[Guitar Solo Outro: John Frusciante]
