Compared To What

Lyrics

I said I love to lie (Yeah), lie to love Hangin' on with push and shove Possession is the motivation That's hangin' up the whole damn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Tryin' to make it real (Tryin' to do it) but compared to what? (Compared to what, baby?) Slaughterhouse (Yeah) is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks, all rollin' logs Tired old ladies are kissin' dogs And I hate that human love of that stinking mutt Tryin' to make it real but compared to what? I said the president, he's got his war Folks don't know just what they're fighting for (Fighting for) No one gives us rhyme or reason Have one doubt and they call it treason And we're all chicken feathers without one gut Tryin' to make it real (Just keep it real, baby) but compared to what? Goin' to church on Sunday, they sleep and nod They're tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preacher fillin' our head with lies Telling what he thinks is right (Oh yeah) But who must be some kind of stupid nut He tries (Tries, tries), try to make it real (Oh, he tries) Tries, try to make it real Try to make it real Real Try to make it real Try to make it real (That's it, check it out) Try to make it real (Yeah, let's go) Try to make it real Where's that bee and where's that honey? Where's my God and where's my money? Unreal values crap distortion Unwed mothers need abortion And it kind of brings to mind young King Tut He tried, tried Tried, tried Tried, tried Tried, tried Tried to make it real Tried to make it real Tried to make it real Tried to make it real but compared to what? I said I love to lie, lie to love Hangin' on with push and shove Possession is that motivation Hangin' up the whole damn nation And it looks like we always end up in a rut Tried to make it real Tried Tried to make it real (Tried to make it real) We tried (Tried to make it, tried to make it real) Tried to make it real (Tried to make it real) Tried to make it real (Tried to make it, tried to make it real) Tried to make it real (Tried to make it, tried to make it real) But compared to what? Tried to make it real Tried to make it real Tried to make it real Tried to make it real (Tried, tried)
