About

One of the heavier tracks on the album, “These Are the Ways” reflects on life in America, not from a place of judgment but rather of acceptance. Nonetheless, it would appear to pine for a return to more civil political discourse (“Please step down from your bully machine / Can we all back it up?”).

These Are the Ways Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Make me a fist
Purple Mountain road that I can't miss
Have we all had enough?
Have we all had too much?

[Verse 2]
Lost in a dream
Please step down from your bully machine
Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?

[Chorus]
These are the ways when you come from America
The sights, the sounds, the smells
These are the ways when you come from America
I don't want to die and she's gonna take good care of ya
I just want to thrive and there's gonna be hystеria

[Post-Chorus]
Don't be late
Walk us through the goldеn gate, yeah!
Bruce and George
Singing for their own reward

[Verse 3]
Take me inside
Twenty-three windows and it's gonna be a long ride
All had enough?
Have we all had too much?

[Verse 4]
Sing me the blues
Cowgirl's tight in her basketball shoes
Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?

[Chorus]
These are the ways when you come from America
The sights, the sounds, the smells
These are the ways when you come from America
I don't want to die and she's gonna take good care of ya
I just want to thrive and there's gonna be hysteria

[Post-Chorus]
Don't be late
Walk us through the golden gate, yeah!
Bruce and George
Singing for their own reward

What did Red Hot Chili Peppers say about "These Are the Ways"?

Anthony Kiedis:

That’s a song that John brought—the arrangement and a version of that melody. I’m never able to recreate his melodies perfectly—he’s just on a different melodic level—so I usually put it through a simplification machine. I didn’t overthink it. It was the first idea that came to my m...

What have the artists said about the song?

Flea:

John just walked in one day with this song structure, and it’s my favourite one…it just rocks is all I can say. And the parts go together so well. I love it when someone does something that I would never think of in a million years. The way it builds, and swells, and climaxes, and comes back...
