Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Love and lie and lie the love
Are hanging on, we push and shove
Possession is the motivation that is hanging up
The goddamn nation looks like we always end up in a rut
Everybody now, trying to make it real compared to what?
Come on, baby!
ย
Slaughterhouses are killing hogs
Twisted children are killing frogs
Poor dumb rednecks rolling logs
Tired old ladies kissing dogs
I hate the human love of that stinking mud
I can't use it, trying to make it real compared to what?
Come on, baby, now!
ย
The president, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us a rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken feathers all the way without wonder
Goddamn it!
Trying to make it real compared to what?
Sock it to me!
ย
Church on Sunday, sleep at night
Trying to duck the wrath of God
Preachers filling us with fright
They all trying to teach us what they think is right
They really got to be some kind of nut
I can't use it, trying to make it real compared to what?
Mother, baby, now!
ย
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
Kinda brings to mind old Young King Tut
He did it now, trying to make it real compared to what?
ย
Trying to make it real compared to what?
ย
Don Dean, Leroy Vinegar, Benny Bailey, Eddie Harris!
