Simple Man
I aint nothin but a simple man
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But theres things going on
That make me mad down to the core.
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
Theres crooked politicians and crime in the street
And Im maddern hell and I aint gonna take it no more.
We tell our kids to just say no
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town.
Now if I had my way with people sellin ****
Id take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
Id hang em up high and let em swing til the sun goes down
Well, you know whats wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
Theyre living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The good book says it so I know its the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
Thats the way I see it Im a Simple Man.
Now Im the kinda man thatd not harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
Ive got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side
So dont go pushing me against my will
I dont want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
So if you dont want trouble then youd better just pass me on by
As far as Im concerned there aint no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And Ive got a way to put an end to all that mess
Just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put em on their knees and tie em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
You know whats wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
Theyre living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The Good Book says it so I know its the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
Thats the way I see it Im a Simple Man
