Minor Thing Lyrics

I Change the key from C to D
You see to me it's just a minor thing
He knows everything
To readjust you've got to trust
That all the fuss is just a minor thing
And I'm a minor king
He knows everything

You've got your bit part, Mozart
Hot dart acceleration
Pop art, pistol chasin'
Cat fight intimidation

To read a mind you've got to
Redefine the line to make your circle sing
He knows everything
You make a sound
The spell is bound to come around
It's just a minor thing

He knows everything
It's just a minor thing
And I'm a minor king
He knows everything

You've got your bit part, Mozart
Hot dart acceleration
Pop art, pistol chasin'
Cat fight intimidation
All out interfacing
Black star motivation
Vampire sugar junkie
Data basin' infiltration

I'm not sure why no one has commented on this song. I really like it! It's got a really catchy beat that just makes me want to skip to it when I've got the CD in.

To me, or at least what I can tell, this song is about not sweatin' the small stuff, hence 'it's just a minor thing' :-)

I'm pretty sure I might b wrong but I think this song is of anthoney keidis's life. He said in his autobiography that he tried constantly to control his drug addiction and I think this is shown in the song. He says he changed from C to D whish means its gotten worse and he knows everything is probably about fellor bandmate and friend Flea. Who always tried to help out anthoney and in this he means Flea knows everything even though anthoney might be trying to hid his slip up from trying to stay clean.Lastly he says I'm a...

I reckon this song is all about how sometimes things seem real hard to do at the time or like theyre gonna make some huge disturbance in your life, but when you look back on life..... it was just a minor thing. Eg: how hard did it seem at the time to finish things with your girlfriend when you were 16? felt like you just wanted to run away and leave it behind rather than facing up to it. Could even be a reference to his drug problems and how that now hes over them, it all seems like a minor thing?

The song is about Dave Navarro.

this is like the best song ever, i love to rock out to it... this and on mercury kick ass:]

this is such a cool song, i think spendog explained it well, i have to agree and i can totally relate to the song cos i always make a big deal outta shit the when i look back it, there was absolutely no reason to do so!!

Cover art for Minor Thing lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

yea i agree with everyone when i say this about makin a big deal out of something that wasnt rally a big deal to begin with...really really awesome song..RHCP ROCKS!

id like to take further what spendog said, i dont know if im right but i think he is saying all this after his death and when he sais "he knows everything" and "you've got to trust" he is speaking about god, although i didnt think Anthony Keidis was religious. "you've got your bit part" everyone has their role to play in the world and "im a minor king" every person is special and individual. "the spell is bound to come around" means ur life but its "just a minor thing" you shouldnt be too concerned with minor difficulties. so i agree with spendog but i think theres more to the song.

i agree w/ joey...I don't know that A.K. is religious (in fact, I'm sure he's not) and neither am I, but I think what he's saying here is: we're all just a "minor thing" compared to god or the universe or whatever it is that you believe in...

come on people, its blatently about music. Maybe only on the surface, but still. minor thing as in minor chords. Changing the key from C to D. I think its about the guy he respects as the best in the music business. Mozart reference anyone? "He Knows Everything"
