Compared to What

de Roberta Flack

Love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
That is hangin' up the whole damn 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 are kissin' dogs
Hate the human, love that stinking mutt
Try to make it real but compared to what?

The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Noone gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut
Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?

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 stupid nut
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real
Real real
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 tried
Tried, tried, tried to make it real
Tryin' to make it real yeah
But compared to what?

Love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
That is hangin' up the whole damn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut
Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?
