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? |
