Compared to What |
| I love this life and life the love |
| A-Hangin' on, with push and shove |
| Possession is the motivation |
| That is hangin' up the God-damn nation |
| Looks like we always end up in a rut (everybody now!) |
| Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? |
| C’mon baby! |
| Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs |
| Twisted children killin' frogs |
| Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs |
| Tired old lady kissin' dogs |
| I hate the human love of that stinking mutt (I can’t use it!) |
| Try to make it real — compared to what? |
| C’mon baby now! |
| The President, he’s got his war |
| Folks don’t know just what it’s for |
| Nobody gives us rhyme or reason |
| Have one doubt, they call it treason |
| We’re chicken-feathers, all without one nut. |
| God damn it! |
| Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? |
| (Sock it to me) |
| Church on Sunday, sleep and nod |
| Tryin' to duck the wrath of God |
| Preacher’s fillin' us with fright |
| They all tryin' to teach us what they think is right |
| They really got to be some kind of nut (I can’t use it!) |
| Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? |
| Where’s that bee and where’s that honey? |
| Where’s my God and where’s my money? |
| Unreal values, crass distortion |
| Unwed mothers need abortion |
| Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut (He did it now) |
| Tried to make it real — compared to what?! |
| (Music break) |
| Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? |
