lirik lagu john legend & the roots - compared to what
[verse 1]
love the lie and lie the love
hangin’ on, with a push and shove
possession is the motivation
that is hangin’ up the god-d-mn nation
looks like we always end up in a rut
[chorus]
tryin’ to make it real – compared to what?
tryin’ to make it real – compared to what?
[verse 2]
slaughterhouse is k!llin’ hogs
twisted children k!llin’ frogs
poor dumb rednecks rollin’ logs
while tired old ladies kissin’ dogs
hate the human, love that stinking mutt
[chorus]
[verse 3]
the president, he’s got his war
folks don’t know just what it’s for
n0body gives us rhyme or reason
have one doubt, they call it treason
we’re chicken-feathers, all without one gut
[chorus]
[verse 4]
church on sunday, sleep and nod
tryin’ to duck the wrath of god
preacher’s fillin’ us with fright
tryin’ to tell us what he thinks is right
he really got to be some kind of nut
[chorus 2x]
[verse 5]
where’s that bee and where’s that honey?
where’s my god and where’s my money
unreal values, cr-ss distortion
unwed mothers need abortion
kind of brings to mind ol’ young king tut (he did it now)
[outro]
tried to make it real – compared to what?!
