Compared to What Love the lie and lie the love Hanging on, with a push and shove Possession is the motivation that is hanging up the goddamn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Trying to make it real — but compared to what Slaughterhouse is killing hogs Twisted children killing frogs Poor dumb rednecks rolling logs Tired old ladies kissing dogs Hate the human, love that stinking mutt Trying to make it real — but compared to what 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 gut Trying to make it real — but compared to what Sock it to me, now Church on Sunday, sleep and nod Trying to duck the wrath of God Preacher's filling us with fright They all trying to teach us what they think is right They really got to be some kind of stupid nut He tries to make it real, tries to make it real impro But where's that bee and where's that honey? Where's my God and where's my money Unreal values, class extortion The so-called news is just a sick distortion Kind of brings to mind old young King Tut He tried, tried, tried... to make it real — to make it real but compared to what?
