Lyrics:

I ain?'t nothing but a simple man.
They call me a redneck - I reckon that I am.
But there?'s things goin?' on make me mad down to the core.
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet;
There?'s crooked politicians and crime in the street;
And I?'m madder?'n Hell and I ain?'t-a gonna take it no more.
They tell our kids, ?Just say, ?No.?'.?
And then some pantywaist judge lets a drug dealer go -
Slaps him on the wrist then he turns him back out on the town.
But if I had my way with people sellin?' dope,
Take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope;
I?'d hang ?em up at high noon - swing ?till the sun goes down.
Well, you know what?'s wrong with the world today?
People done gone and put their Bibles away.
They?'re livin?' by the law of the jungle - not the law of the land.
Well the good book says so I know it?'s true:
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth.
You better watch where you?'re going and remember where you?'ve been;
That?'s the way I see it - I?'m a simple man.
Now I?'m the kinda man wouldn?'t harm a mouse,
But if I catch somebody breakin?' in my house,
I got a 12 gauge shotgun waitin?' on the other side.
So don?'t go pushin?' me against my will.
I don?'t wanna have to fight you but I dern sure will.
If you don?'t want trouble, then you better just pass me on by.
As far as I?'m concerned there ain?'t no excuse
For the rapin?' and the killin?' and the child abuse.
I got a way to put an end to all that at last:
You just take them rascals out in the swamp -
A-put ?em on their knees and tie ?em to a stump -
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest.
Well, you know what?'s wrong with the world today?
People done gone and put their Bibles away.
They?'re livin?' by the law of the jungle - not the law of the land.
Well the good book says so I know it?'s true:
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth.
You better watch where you?'re going and remember where you?'ve been;
That?'s the way I see it - I?'m a simple man.
Watch where you?'re going and remember where you?'ve been;
That?'s the way I see it - I?'m a simple man.
