Compared To What - Roberta Flack (罗贝塔·弗兰克)/Gene McDaniels

Said love the lie and lie the love

Hangin' on with a push and shove

Possession is the motivation

Hangin' up the holddamn 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 killin' frogs

Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs

Tired old ladies kissin' dogs

Hate the human love that stinking mutt

Try to make it real but compared to what

Said President he's got his war

Folks don't know just what it's for

No one gives us rhyme or reason

Have one doubt they call it treason

Said We're chickenfeathers all without one gut

Tryin' to make it real but 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

He must be some kind of to be nut

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real yeah

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

Real real yeah

Tryin' to make it real

Real real

Real real

Tryin' to make it real

Tryin' to make it real

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 try try try

Tried to make it real

Tried to make it real but 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 Goddamn nation

Looks like we always end up in a rut

Tryin' to make it real compared to what
