I ain't
nothin' but a simple man
Call me a redneck,
I reckon that I am
But there's things goin' on
that make me mad down to the core
I have to work like a dog, make ends meet
And there's crooked politicians
cryin' in the street
And I'm madder than hell
and I ain't gonna take it no more
I like kids just say no
And some panty -waist judge
lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist
and turns him back out on the tab
If I had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a big tall tree
and a short piece of rope
I'd hang them up high
and let them swing
till the sun goes down
Well you know what's wrong
with the world today
People don't know
but the Bible's a way of living
By the law of the jungle
not the law of the land
Well, the good book says it,
so I know it's the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
and remember where you've been
That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple man
I'm the kind of man
who wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody
breakin' in my house
I got a 12 -gauge shotgun
waitin' on the other side
Don't go pushin' me against your will
I don't wanna have to fight you
for the damn show, well
If you don't want trouble,
then you better just pass me on by
As far as I'm concerned,
I ain't no excuse
For the rapin', the killin'
and the child abuse
I got a way to put an end to all that mess
You just take them rascals out and stomp
Put them on their knees
and tied them to a stump
Let the rat rats and the bugs
and the alligators do the rest
Well, you know what's wrong
with the world today
People done gone put their
bibles away
And riddled everybody along the jungle,
not the laws of man
Well, the good book said it,
so I know it's the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
and remember where you've been
That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple man
Watch where you're going,
remember where you've been
That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple man
Thank you, Charlie
You
