Red Hot Chili Peppers - Subterranean Homesick Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
God knows when but you're doing' it again!
You better duck down the alleyway looking for a new friend
The man in the coonskin cap by the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten

[Chorus 1]
Look out, kid
Look out, kid, it's something' that you did
Look out, kid, cause they keep all hid

[Verse 3]
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talking 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
Orders from the D.A

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 4]
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, watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 5]
Looks to me like you did
A little to much hitting' kid
You should've took it to the bridge
Before you started to skid

[Chorus 2]
Look out, kid
The good god willing, we'll bebop to Bob Dylan
Chilling em, thrilling em, and red hot killing em

Killing em

[Verse 6]
Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is going to sell
Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail

[Bridge]
But users, cheaters, six time losers
Hand around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool looking for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters

[Chorus 1]
