Compared to What - Ray Charles with Angie Stone

Well well well well well

I love the lie and lie the love

A-hangin' on with push and shove

Possession is the motivation

Messin' up the God-d**n nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Everybody now tryin' to make it real

Compared to what

Oh no no no no no

Feeling our greatness

Feeling our greatness

N***a

Slaughterhouses killin' hogs

Twisted children killin' frogs

Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs

Tired old ladies kissin' dogs

I hate the human but love that stinking mutt

I can't use it now

Try to make it real compared to what

Alright

Yeah never right

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

Well they really got to be some kind of nut

I don't dig it

Tryin' to make it real compared to what

Yeha yeah yeah

Alright alright alright

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
