I ain't nothing but a simple man
Call me a redneck i reckon that i am
But there's things going 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 selling dope
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
And hang em up high and let em swing till the sun goes down

Chorus:

Well you know what's 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 breaking in my house
I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waiting on the other side
So don't go pushing me against my will
I don't want to have to fight you but i darn 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 ain't 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

Repeat chorus
