The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock, metal, and psychedelic rock. The band consists of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009, following the departure of John Frusciante. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 65 million albums worldwide.
The band's original line-up featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Because of commitments to other bands, the two did not play on the debut album, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Cliff Martinez was the drummer for the first two records, and guitarist Jack Sherman played on the first album only. Slovak performed on two albums with the band, Freaky Styley and The Uplift Mofo Party Plan; he died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons' departure. Parliament-Funkadelic guitarist, DeWayne McKnight was brought in to replace Slovak though his tenure was short and he was replaced by John Frusciante in 1988. Former Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro was brought in to replace Irons though after a short tenure with the band he was out and replaced by Chad Smith that same year. The line-up of Flea, Kiedis, Frusciante and Smith was the longest-lasting, and recorded five studio albums starting with 1989's Mother's Milk.
All I need is one song one line
all I need is one break to survive
All I get is one chance, so come on
Five more hours to come up with a song
the pressure is rising, no more mistakes
don't try to deny it, don't you hesitate
those voices are calling, calling out your name
but don't look so sad, it's a long way back
Don't try to chance it
A long way back, and a long way ahead
All I need is one song one line
all I need is one break to survive
All I get is one chance, so come on
Five more hours to come up with a song
those voices are calling, calling out your name
but don't look so sad, it's a long way back
Don't try to chance it
A long way back, and a long way ahead
All I need is one song one line
all I need is one break to survive
All I get is one chance, so come on
Five more hours to come up with a song
All I need is one song one line
all I need is one break to survive
All I get is one chance, so come on
Five more hours to come up with a song
to come up with a song
All I need is one song one line
all I need is one break to survive
All I get is one chance, so come on
Five more hours to come up with a song
