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 whole damn nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?

Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs

Twisted children killin' frogs

Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs

Tired old ladies are kissin' dogs

Hate the human, love that stinking mutt

Try to make it real but compared to what?

The President, he's got his war

Folks don't know just what it's for

Noone 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 but 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 stupid nut

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Real real

Tryin' to make it real

Real real real real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

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 tried

Tried, tried, tried to make it real

Tryin' to make it real yeah

But 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 whole damn nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?
