i love the lie and lie the love
ahangin’ on with 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 c’mon baby
slaughterhouse is killin’ hogs
twisted children killin’ frogs
poor dumb rednecks rollin’ logs
tired old lady kissin’ dogs
hate the human love that stinking mutt i can’t stand 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 chickenfeathers 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
tryin’ to make it real compared to what
