  • Make me a fist
    Purple Mountain road that I can't miss
    Have we all had enough?
    Have we all had too much?
    Lost in a dream
    Please step down from your bully machine
    Can we all back it up?
    Can we all give it up?

    These are the ways when you come from America
    The sights, the sounds, the smells
    These are the ways when you come from America
    I don't wanna die and she's gonna take good care of ya
    I just wanna thrive and there's gonna be hysteria

    Don't be late
    Walk us through the golden gate, yeah
    Bruce and George
    Singing for their own reward

    Take me inside
    Twenty-three windows and it's gonna be a long ride
    All had enough?
    Have we all had too much?
    Sing me the blues
    Cowgirl's tight in her basketball shoes
    Can we all back it up?
    Can we all give it up?

    These are the ways when you come from America
    The sights, the sounds, the smells
    These are the ways when you come from America
    I don't wanna die and she's gonna take good care of ya
    I just wanna thrive and there's gonna be hysteria

    Don't be late
    Walk us through the golden gate, yeah
    Bruce and George
    Singing for their own reward Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Chad Gaylord Smith, John Anthony Frusciante, Michael Peter Balzary
