Organic Anti-Beat Box Band Lyrics

[Outro]
Yeah!
Can you dig it, can you dig it?

[Verse 1]
Welcome friends to my thoughts of when
The fax city 4 were four young men
Time has come, now we jam
With the uplift mofo party plan
We're the organic anti-beat box band

[Verse 2]
One comes from the holy land
Another was born an Australian
Me I'm from Michigan

But Hollywood is the land of lands
It's a Hollywood jam

[Chorus 1]
We represent the Hollywood kids
Hollywood is where we live
We represent the Hollywood jam
Organic anti-beat box band

[Verse 3]
Life is grand in the land of lands
The mind does boggle, the mind expands
The Anarchy Four have manned their craft
Get on your knees and shake your ass
To the jam, that is (that's right)
[Verse 4]
We don't ask we demand
That you and your clan
Listen now to this jam
To the power of the drummer 'cause the drummer is bad
It's a Hollywood jam
Let's rock!

[Chorus 1]
We represent the Hollywood kids
Hollywood is where we live
We represent the Hollywood jam
Organic anti-beat box band
(It's a jam)

[Verse 5]
There's a party in my town at twelve o'clock
There's a party that's rocking down to the rock
I've got nothing against hip hop
But there's a party in my town and no beat box
Jam, that is

[Verse 6]
The party's got girls the girls got hot
The party's got boys and the boys got socks
Something popped, the doors unlocked
The house got up ran around the block
Sit down house, take off your blouse
[Chorus 2]
We represent the Hollywood kids
Hollywood is where we live
Very good friend of the lollipop kids
Over the rainbow with the wiz
We represent the Hollywood jam
Organic anti-beat box band

[Outro]
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
We're the organic anti-beat box band
You just might slam dance that is
It's a Hollywood jam
(Encore!)

Genius Annotation

Anthony Kiedis, lead singer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, told the story of when he wrote the lyrics for this song in his autobiography “Scar Tissue”, he wrote:

I went downtown and found an El Salvadorian who hooked me up, and I was in that opiate haze one more time. But all I could think about was the fact that I was supposed to be in the studio. I started hearing Jackie Iron’s beat in my head for a song we were working on called ‘The Organic Anti-Beat Box Band.’ I sat in a downtown park, surrounded by an odd mixture of park people, and wrote the lyrics
