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?!
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what?
Compared to What was written by Eugene McDaniels.
