I ain't nothing 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 to make ends meet.
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
and I'm madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.
We tell our kids to just say no and then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
and he slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town. Well, if I had my way with people sellin' dope,
I take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope,
and hang 'em up high and let 'em swing thll the sun goes down.
R: Well you know whats wrong with the world today.
People done gone and put their Bibles away,
There livin' by 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'd better watch where you go and remember where you've been,
that's the way I see it I'm a simple man.
Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse,
but if I catch somebody breakin' in my house,
I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side.
So don't go pushin' me against my will, I don't want to have to fight
you but I durn sure will.
So if you don't want trouble that you'd better just pass me on by.
As far as I'm concerned there aint no excuse
for the raping and the killing and the child abuse.
And I've got a way to put and end to all that mess.
You just take those rascals out in the swamp,
put them on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
and let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest.
