I love the lie and lie the love
 A-Hangin' on, with push and shove
 Possession is the motivation
 that is hangin' up the God-damn nation
 Looks like we always end up in a rut (everybody now!)
 Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? C'mon baby!
 
 Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs
 Twisted children killin' frogs
 Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs
 Tired old lady kissin' dogs
 I hate the human love of that stinking mutt (I can't use it!)
 Try to make it real — compared to what? C'mon baby now!
 
 The President, he's got his war
 Folks don't know just what it's for
 Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
 Have one doubt, they call it treason
 We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut. God damn it!
 Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? (Sock it to me)
 
 Church on Sunday, sleep and nod
 Tryin' to duck the wrath of God
 Preacher's fillin' us with fright
 They all tryin' to teach us what they think is right
 They really got to be some kind of nut (I can't use it!)
 Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
 
 Where's that bee and where's that honey?
 Where's my God and where's my money?
 Unreal values, crass distortion
 Unwed mothers need abortion
 Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut (He did it now)
 Tried to make it real — compared to what?! 
 
 (Music break)
 
 Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
