Simple Man

I ain't nothin' but a simple man

They call me a redneck, I reckon that I am

But there's things going on

Make me mad down to the core

I have to work like a dog to make ends meet

There's crooked politicians and crime in the street

And I'm madder than Hell and I ain't gonna take it no more

We tell our kids to just say no

And then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go

He slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back

Out on the town

But if I had my way with people sellin' dope

I'd take a big tall tree and short piece of rope

I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing till the sun goes down

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone put their Bibles away

They're living by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land

Well, the Good Book says it, so I know it's the truth

And eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

You better watch where you go and 'member where you been

That's the way I see it, I'm a simple man

Now I'm the kinda man who'd not harm a mouse

But if I catch somebody breakin' in my house

I've gotta twelve gauge shotgun waiting on the other side

So don't go pushing me against my will

I don't want to have to fight you, but I darn sure will

If you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by

As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse

For the raping and the killing and the child abuse

And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess

You just take them rascals out in the swamp

Or put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump

Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone and put their Bible's away

They're living by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land

Well, the Good Book says it, so I know it's the truth

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

You better watch where you go, remember where you been

That's the way I see it, I'm a simple man

Watch where you go and remember where you been

That's the way I see it, I'm a simple man
