Compared to What (Музыка из фильма "Казино / Casino")

Текст песни Les McCann - Compared to What (Музыка из фильма "Казино / Casino")

[Verse 1]
I love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with push and shove
Possession is the motivation
Hangin' up the  whole damn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut (Whoa)
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (C'mon now)

[Verse 2]
Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs
Twisted children are killin' frogs
Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs
Tired old ladies kissin' dogs
I hate the human, love that stinking mutt (Whoa)
Try to make it real, compared to what? (Got to get it, huh)

[Verse 3]
The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt and they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut (Hee)
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (Come on)

[Verse 4]
Church on Sunday, sleep and nod
Tryin' to duck the wrath of God
Preachers fillin' us with fright
Teachin' what they think is right
They really have to be some kind of nut (Eee)
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (Git, git)
[Verse 5]
Where's that bee and where's that honey?
Where's my God and where's my money?
Unreal values, a crass distortion
Unwed mothers need abortion
Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut (Whoa)
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (Yeah)

[Outro]
Don't git, umm hmm, yeah, trying, keep on tryin'
Oh Lord, oh yeah, everyone, oh yeah, uh huh, oh
Uh huh, tryin' to make it real, compared to what?
