Karaoké Simple Man Upchurch

Yeah, I ain't nothin' but a simple man

They call me a redneck

I reckon that I am

But there's things goin' on that make me mad to the core

I gotta work like a dog to make ends meet

There's crooked politicians and crime in the streets

And I'm madder than hell and I ain't a-gonna take it no more

They tell our kids to just say no

Then some pantywaist judge lets a drug dealer go

Slaps him on his wrist and he turns him back out on the town

Well 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' swang 'till the sun goes down

Well you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone put their Bibles away

They're livin' by the law of the jungle not the law of the land

Well the good book says it so I know it's the truth

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

You better watch where you go remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man

Hey, I'm the kinda man wouldn't harm a mouse

But if I catch somebody breakin' in my house

I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side

So don't go pushin' me against my will

I don't wanna have to fight ya but I darn 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

And I got a way to put an end to all that mess

You 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

Well you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone put their Bibles away

They're livin' by the law of the jungle not the law of the land

Well the good book says it so I know it's the truth

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

You better watch where you go remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man

Watch where you go remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man
