Compared To What John Legend & The Roots

[Verse 1]
Love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
That is hangin' up the God-damn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut

[Chorus]
Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?
Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?

[Verse 2]
Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs
Twisted children killin' frogs
Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs
While tired old ladies kissin' dogs
Hate the human, love that stinking mutt

[Chorus]
Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?
Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?

[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, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut
