Charlie Daniels - Simple Man lyrics

I ain't nothin' but a simple man They call me a redneck i reckon that i am But there's things going on That 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 gonna take it no more We tell our kids to just say no Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town Now if i had my way with people sellin' dope I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down Well, you know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land The good book says it so i know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way i see it i'm a simple man Now i'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse But if i catch somebody breakin in my house I've got twelve guage 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 i dern sure will So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pa** me on by As far as i'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the raping and the k**ing and the child abuse And i've got a way to put an end to all that mess Just take them rascals out in the swamp Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest You know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land The good book says it so i know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way i see it i'm a simple man
