I sure am doing a good job of taking a few days off aren't I?
Anyway for no particular reason, here are the lyrics to Compared to What? Lyrics written by Gene McDaniels. The song has been performed well by Roberta Flack and David Holmes.
Compared to What?
I love to lie and lie to love
I`m hangin` on they push and shove
Possession is the motivation
That is hangin` up the goddamn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut
Everybody now
Tryin` to make it real compared to what
Slaughterhouse is killin` hogs
Twisted children killin` frogs
Poor dumb rednecks rollin` logs
Tired old ladies kissin` dogs
I hate the human love of that stinking mutt
I can`t use it
Tryin` to make it real compared to what
President he`s got his war
Folks don`t know just what it`s for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt they call it treason
We`re chicken feathers
All without one nut goddamn it
Tryin` to make it real compared to what
Church on Sunday sleep and nod
Tryin` to duck the wrath of God
Preachers fillin` us with fright
They all tryin` to teach us what they think is right
They really got to be some kind of nut
I can`t use it
Tryin` to make it real compared to what
Where`s that bee and where`s that honey
Where`s my God and where`s my money
Unreal values a crass distortion
Unwed mothers need abortion
Kind of brings to mind old young King Tut
He did it now
Tried to make it real compared to what
Tryin` to make it real compared to what
