Compared to What

I love the lie and lie the love

A-hangin' on, with push and shove

Possession is the motivation

Corrupt an entire nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? C'mon baby!

The President, he's got his war

Folks don't know just what it's for

Maimed or killed for no rhyme or reason

Have one doubt, they call it treason

We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut

Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (Sock it to me)

Where's that truth and where's that honey?

Where's your God and where's my money?

Unreal values, crass distortion

Unwed mothers need abortion

Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut

Tried to make it real, compared to what?!
