I ainand't nothinand' but a simple man
they call me a redneck i reckon that i am
but thereand's things going on
that make me mad down to the core.
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
thereand's crooked politicians and crime in the street
and iand'm madderand'n hell and i ainand't 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 sellinand' dope
iand'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
iand'd hang and'em up high and let and'em swing and'til the sun goes down
Well, you know whatand's wrong with the world today
people done gone and put their bibleand's away
theyand're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
the good book says it so i know itand's the truth
an eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
you better watch where you go and remember where you been
thatand's the way i see it iand'm a simple man.
Now iand'm the kinda man thatand'd not harm a mouse
but if i catch somebody breakin in my house
iand've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side
So donand't go pushing me against my will
i donand't want to have to fight you but i dern sure will
so if you donand't want trouble then youand'd better just pass me on by
As far as iand'm concerned there ainand't no excuse
for the raping and the killing and the child abuse
and iand've got a way to put an end to all that mess
Just take them rascals out in the swamp
put and'em on their knees and tie and'em to a stump
let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
You know whatand's wrong with the world today
people done gone and put their bibleand's away
theyand're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
the good book says it so i know itand's the truth
an eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
you better watch where you go and remember where you been
thatand's the way i see it iand'm a simple man
