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
