Compared To What (电影《秘密特工》插曲) - Roberta Flack
Said love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
Hangin' up the holddamn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut
Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?
Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs
Twisted children killin' frogs
Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs
Tired old ladies kissin' dogs
Hate the human love that stinking mutt
Try to make it real but compared to what?
Said President he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
No one gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt they call it treason
Said We're chickenfeathers all without one gut
Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?
Go Church on Sunday sleep and nod
Tryin' to duck the wrath of God
Preacher's fillin' us with fright
Telling what he thinks is right
He must be some kind of to be nut
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real yeah
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real
Real real yeah
Tryin' to make it real
Real real
Real real
Tryin' to make it real
Tryin' to make it real
Where's that bee and where's that honey?
Where's my God and where's my money
Unreal values crass distortion
Unwed mothers need abortion
Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut
He try try try
Tried to make it real
Tried to make it real but compared to what?
Said love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
Hangin' up the Goddamn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut
Tryin' to make it real compared to what?
