Lyrics

I love to lie and lie to love I'm hangin' on they push and shove Possession is the motivation That is hangin' up the goddamn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Everybody now Tryin' to make it real compared to what Come on people Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs Tired old ladies kissin' dogs I hate the human love of that stinking mutt I can't use it Tryin' to make it real compared to what Come on people Whoa, oh-oh-oh 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 goddamn it Tryin' to make it real compared to what Church on Sunday sleep and nod Tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preachers 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 a crass distortion Unwed mothers need abortion Kind of brings to mind old young King Tut He did it now Tried to make it real compared to what Tryin' to make it real compared to what Donald Dean, Leroy Vinnegar, Benny Bailey, Eddie Harris
