Red Hot Chili Peppers - Yertle Trilogy
★ Verse 1 ★
Well, on a far away island of Salamasond
I said, Yertle the turtle was king of the pond
A nice little pond, it was clean, it was neat
The water was warm, there was plenty to eat
Until one day the king of them all
Decided the kingdom he would rule was too small
"I'm the ruler of all that I see
But I don't see enough and that's the trouble with me"
★ Interlude ★
Oh...
★ Verse 2 ★
"With this stone for a throne, I am too low down
I cannot look down upon the places beyond"
So Yertle the turtle, king lifted his hand
And Yertle the turtle, king gave a command
He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
He piled them high into a ten-turtle-stack
"I'm Yertle the turtle, things I now rule
I'm a king of a cow, I'm a king of a mule"
★ Interlude ★
Shit! Oh-la-la
And now, oh!
Here I come

★ Verse 3 ★
Then down from below, in the great turtle stack
Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne, this burpin' little turtle
Looked up and said "I beg your pardon, King Yertle
I have pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees
How long must we stand here, your majesty?"
"Silence!" the king of the turtles barked back
To the bad burpin' little turtle named Mack
"I'm Yertle the turtle, marvelous me
For I am ruler of all that I see"
★ Interlude ★
And I see you

Biography
In December 2019, the band announced via Instagram that Klinghoffer had left after 10 years, and Frusciante would be rejoining.
Their lyrical content was mostly centered around sex, drugs, and the Los Angeles lifestyle, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis mostly rapped them as he wasn’t confident as vocalist. Most members of the band also suffered from drug addiction, as Kiedis and Frusciante had to check themselves into rehab for heroin addiction at various points in their lives. But Californication marked a change in the band’s content matter and lifestyle. The band was sober for the most part, and the lyrics had shifted to songs about love and the pains of addiction, the title even criticized the city they loved so much. In addition, Kiedis had started to sing his lyrics much more often as he finally felt comfortable with his voice. That change has allowed the band to stick around for over 20 years despite multiple changes to their lineup and is part of why they remain relevant.
