[00:24.24] I ain't nothin' but a simple man
[00:27.50] They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
[00:29.91] But there's things going on
[00:32.10] That make me mad down to the core.
[00:35.82] I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
[00:39.26] There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
[00:42.27] And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.
[00:48.36] We tell our kids to just say no
[00:50.83] Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
[00:54.36] Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town.
[01:00.11] Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope
[01:03.15] I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
[01:06.18] I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down
[01:12.22] Well, you know what's wrong with the world today
[01:15.44] People done gone and put their Bible's away
[01:18.18] They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
[01:24.36] The good book says it so I know it's the truth
[01:27.62] An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
[01:30.18] You better watch where you go and remember where you been
[01:33.72] That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man.
[01:42.12] Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse
[01:44.80] But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
[01:47.80] I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side
[01:54.27] So don't go pushing me against my will
[01:57.24] I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
[02:00.25] So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by
[02:06.51] As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
[02:09.24] For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
[02:12.59] And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess
[02:18.37] Just take them rascals out in the swamp
[02:21.50] Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
[02:24.47] Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
[02:30.34] You know what's wrong with the world today
[02:33.86] People done gone and put their Bible's away
[02:36.49] They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
[02:42.64] The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth
[02:45.89] An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
[02:48.45] You better watch where you go and remember where you been
[02:52.80] That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
