Give It Away Lyrics
What I've got you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue
Confide w/sly you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser
Give it away give it away give it away give it away
now x 3
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now
Bob Marley taught me how to off it
Bob Marley walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me can't you see I'm gonna cough it
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me
Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on everybody time to deliver

In his book Anthony Kiedis said himself that its about giving things away to make yourself feel good. His girlfriend gives him this jacket that he really likes and she basically says take it I have a closet full of clothes and you like it I would like if you took it. So he took it and came up with this song because giving things away makes you feel happy. So contrary to the popular belief its not about sex.
I think it's about anything revolving giving, including sex.

In my opinion this is the Chili's best song, the video kicks ass!!!! Some of the lyrics are worrying, "Feeling good my brother gonna hug me, Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me", but this is my fave song, from my fave Chili album...... COME ON, WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE COMMENTS??????

At its base, this song is about a friend of AK's who gave him an expensive leather jacket when he was a young junkie. He protested that it was a very expensive item for her to give to him, but she replied that nothing is worth anything unless you "give it away". He remembered this some years later when writing this song.

something's wrong with society... Sk8er Boi by that evil commy bitch Avril Lavigne had 963 POSTS!!! AND GIVE IT AWAY ONLY HAS 8, WELL 9 NOW?! How did things get like this?!
So true. Well I'm glad there are now 116, even if it's not close to the now 1227, but I take solace that "Stairway to Heaven" has 2022 comments.

no, im with "thepython" i think thats about love...bob marley always was about love and bla bla bla. maybe it has a drug inuendo but u never know, most chilli songs can be interperated as drug influences (acid trips etc.).

im wondering why darktoss called avril lavigne a 'commy'? Never knew she was communist, or has that become a serious insult now? Anyway yeah, about loving your family, and on a wider scale, everyone! The family thing could be about people. Dont be selfish, love your brother type thing. And while it isnt their best song if you ask me, its the one they do best live by far and away, and they think that too. You can tell by the way they always end on it, and drag it out. It lets them be funk and rock n roll and jump around and take their clothes off and have fun. Wicked bad
