The Brothers Cup Lyrics
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
It was our shoulder space
That made the perfect place
For the magic of the cup
To style out with grace
With a tight turn twist
And a slight swerve swank
The brothers cup kissed
With a kick ass clank
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
So love all your brothers
And love all your sisters
Love all the misses
And love all the misters
Don't be shy when you're sharin' your kisses
The brothers cup kiss
And we ain't sissies
It is our notion that the perfect peace potion
Can be found in the wake of the green sea's motion
The long rocking swell of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace it's the perfect peace motion
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the power of the cup we are about to astound
All your preconceptions they will come unbound
We are the brothers cup coming to your town
Bringing tubs of love we're going to spread it around
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
That made the perfect place
For the magic of the cup
To style out with grace
With a tight turn twist
And a slight swerve swank
The brothers cup kissed
With a kick ass clank
We like to get it up
We are the brothers cup
We like to get it up
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
And love all your sisters
Love all the misses
And love all the misters
Don't be shy when you're sharin' your kisses
The brothers cup kiss
And we ain't sissies
Can be found in the wake of the green sea's motion
The long rocking swell of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace it's the perfect peace motion
We're the brothers cup cuttin' sharp as a knife
All your preconceptions they will come unbound
We are the brothers cup coming to your town
Bringing tubs of love we're going to spread it around

Love this song! My fave chili song definitely. I wish their style was still like this!
I just read this. It was Anthony and Flea. The song is about their love for each other and his fondness for him.
"It was our shoulder space That made the perfect place For the magic of the cup To style out with grace With a tight turn twist And a slight swerve swank The brothers cup kissed With a kick ass clank"
As you said, they put cups on their jackets as a symbol of their friendship.
"Don't be shy when you're sharin' your kisses The brothers cup kiss And we ain't sissies"
The brothers cup here is Flea and Anthony. It basically says to show affection for one another. They do, they even kiss one another and it's not a homosexual act.
"With the power of the cup we are about to astound All your preconceptions they will come unbound We are the brothers cup coming to your town Bringing tubs of love we're going to spread it around"
You have to admire their close bond the two share. They are open about how they love one another and don't care if you think it's gay or not in the manly friendship sort of way.
This has to be one of the best RHCP songs ever! I can't believe there are no posts here!
i think its about loving everybody in a world full of hate and violence
i agree with dank22. I read in Scar Tissue that anthony and Hillel or Flea or maybe both (it's a while since I read the book) had matching leather jackets with cups sewn on th shoulders!!!

GREAT SONG! the references to What It Is are obvious, which the chilis did with a lot of songs on Freaky Styley. With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap The cups went up like a natural fact great lyrics
this is such a good song! i think about friendship and sticking together when i hear it.
Yeh when it says love all your brothers and love all your sisters it's talking about loving every one and being full of peace. You know most Red hot chili peppers songs tell us how to live or have a moral so listen to the lyrics it might just do you good.
who's the girl singer in this song?
its whe kiedis and flea went to amsterdam and anthony bought some ceramic blue cups and then they became the brothers cup
