[00:24.240] I ain't nothin' but a simple man [00:27.500] They call me a redneck I reckon that I am [00:29.910] But there's things going on [00:32.100] That make me mad down to the core. [00:35.820] I have to work like a dog to make ends meet [00:39.260] There's crooked politicians and crime in the street [00:42.270] And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more. [00:48.360] We tell our kids to just say no [00:50.830] Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go [00:54.360] Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. [01:00.110] Now if I had my way with people sellin' **** [01:03.150] I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope [01:06.180] I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down [01:12.220] Well, you know what's wrong with the world today [01:15.440] People done gone and put their Bible's away [01:18.180] They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land [01:24.360] The good book says it so I know it's the truth [01:27.620] An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth [01:30.180] You better watch where you go and remember where you been [01:33.720] That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man. [01:42.120] Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse [01:44.800] But if I catch somebody breakin in my house [01:47.800] I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side [01:54.270] So don't go pushing me against my will [01:57.240] I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will [02:00.250] So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by [02:06.510] As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse [02:09.240] For the raping and the killing and the child abuse [02:12.590] And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess [02:18.370] Just take them rascals out in the swamp [02:21.500] Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump [02:24.470] Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest [02:30.340] You know what's wrong with the world today [02:33.860] People done gone and put their Bible's away [02:36.490] They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land [02:42.640] The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth [02:45.890] An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth [02:48.450] You better watch where you go and remember where you been [02:52.800] That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
