Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky Lyrics
[Intro: Flea with Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
…Does that star-spangled banner yet wave?
Ha-ha-ha
[Refrain 1: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I-I, I, I cry, I cry
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
I was born in a land, I don’t think you understand
Goddamn what I am
I’m a native of this place, please don’t kick me in my face
My race has been disgraced
[Pre-Chorus 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Porkball
Stick a dick on
Wild bitch
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]
Won’t somebody testify? Kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Slap a liar in his eye, kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

[Refrain 2: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I-I, I, I wonder why…why?
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Put us in your pumpkin shell, where you keep us very well
It’s Hell, where I dwell
When history books are full of shit, I become the anarchist
I’m pissed at this
What this country claims to be
It’s a lie, no place for me, I bleed
[Pre-Chorus 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Porkball
Stick a dick on
Porkball
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]
Won’t somebody testify? Kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Slap a liar in his eye, kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
[Refrain 3: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I-I, I decide to defy
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Kill my trust if you must, but in my blood there is the lust
For life, that’s right
Apache blood is in my heart, thrashing through me like a shark
Crashing through the dark
[Pre-Chorus 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Porkball
Stick a dick on
Pussycat
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]
Won’t somebody testify? Kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Slap a liar in his eye, kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
[Refrain 4: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I-I, I can fight, confide
[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis]
What am I supposed to do? I feel like I’m cut in two
Confused by rules
Do these two cultures clash, or am I living in the past?
I ask, please tell me fast
[Pre-Chorus 4: Anthony Kiedis]
Porkball
Stick a dick on
Wild bitch
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante, Kristen Vigard, Vicki Calhoun, & Aklia Chinn]
Won’t somebody testify? Kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Slap a liar in his eye, kick a hole right in the sky
(Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky)
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
[Refrain 5: Anthony Kiedis, with John Frusciante & Flea]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I, that’s right
[Verse 5: Anthony Kiedis]
To what do I belong, and if I change, will I be wrong?
Be wrong, that’s wrong
I took my foot and kicked a hole in the sky
I proceeded to plead, will fathers help me decide?
A jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
I turned around and found that I was still alive
Snakes rise high from the purple-black sky
The red cloud rains, and the black horse rides
Then it dawned on me like the morning sun
I’m a part of two worlds, and the morning comes
Glowing embers tend to remember when
The power that is peace was treated as a friend
I’m a master of objection and I’ve got to take action
I’m a man, the animal man
