Simple Man Lyrics

I ain't nothing but a simple man
They call me a rebel
And I reckon that I am
But there's things going on
That make me mad to the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There's crooked Politicians
And crime on the street
I'm madder than hell
And I ain't gonna take it no more

They tell our kids to just say No
And then some out of touch Judge
Lets a drug-pusher go
He slaps him on the wrist
And he turns him back out on the town
But if I had my way with people selling dope
I'd take a big, tall tree
And a short peace of rope
I'd hang'em up high
And let'em swing 'till the sun goes down

Well you know what's wrong
With the world today
People have gone
Thrown their morals away
They're living by the Law of the Jungle
Not the Law of the Land
I've heard it said
And I know it's the truth An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
Better watch where you're going
Remember where you've been
That's the way I see it
I'm a simple man

I'm the kind of man
Who wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I find somebody
Breaking in my house
I've got a loaded shotgun
Waiting on the other side
So don't go pushing me
Against my will
I don't want to
Have to fight you
But push me and I will
If you don't want trouble
You better just pass me by

As far as I'm concerned
There ain't no excuse
For the raping and the mugging
And the child abuse
I've got a way
To put an end to all those things
You just take them scum
You put a bullet in their heads
Or hang'em from a tree
Until they drop down dead
And let them be an example
To all the rest
