I aint nothin but a simple man
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But theres things goin on that make me mad down to the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
Theres crooked politicians and crime in the street
And Im madder than hell, and I aint a-gonna take it no more
We tell our kids, Just say no
And then some panty-waist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town
But if I had my way with people sellin dope
Take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
Id hang em up high and let them swing til the sun goes down
Well, you know whats wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
Theyre livin by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land
Well, the Good Book says it so I know its the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man
Now Im the kinda man who wouldnt harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
I got a 12-gauge shotgun waitin on the other side
So dont go pushin me against my will
I dont want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
If you dont want trouble then youd better just pass me on by
As far as Im concerned, there aint no excuse
For the rapin and the killin and the child abuse
But Ive got a way to put an end to all that fast
You just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put em on their knees and tie em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
Well, you know whats wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
Theyre livin by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land
Well, the Good Book says it so I know its the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man
Watch where you go and remember where you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man
