Compared to What

Compared To What (LP版) - Roberta Flack (羅伯特·弗蘭克)

I said love the lie and lie the love

Hangin' on with a push and shove

Possession is the motivation

Hangin' up

The holy damn nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real

But compared to what

Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs

Twisted children are killin' frogs

Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs

Tired old ladies are kissin' dogs

And I hate the human

Love that stinking mutt

Try to make it real

But compared to what

Said the President he's got his war

Folks don't know just what it's for

No one gives us rhyme or reason

You have one doubt they call it treason

I said we're chicken-feathers

All without one gut

Tryin' to make it real

What compared to what

Go church on Sunday sleep and nod

Tryin' to duck the wrath of God

Preacher's fillin' us with fright

Telling what he thinks is right

Well he must be some kind of nut

Stupid nut

He tries to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real real

Tryin' to make it real

Make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Real real real real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

But 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

And kinds brings to mind

Ol' young King Tut

He try try try

Tried to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Compared to what

Said love the lie and lie the love

Hangin' on with a push and shove

Possession is the motivation

Hangin' up the holy damn nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real

But compared to what
