compared to what

love the lie and lie the love

hangin' on

with a push and shove

possession is the motivation

that is hangin' up the god-damn nation

looks like we always end up in a rut

tryin' to make it real -- compared to what?

slaughterhouse is killin' hogs

twisted children killin' frogs

poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs

tired old ladies kissin' dogs

hate the human

love that stinking mutt

try to make it real -- compared to what?

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 gut

tryin' to make it real -- compared to what?

church on sunday

sleep and nod

tryin' to duck the wrath of god

preacher's fillin' us with fright

tryin' to tell us what he thinks is right

he really got to be some kind of nut

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

tried to make it real -- compared to what?!
