[Em] [E]
[G] [E]
I ain't nothing but a simple man [D] They call me [A] a redneck, I reckon that I am
But this thing's going on, it's got me mad [Em] down to [E] the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet [D] There's crooked politicians [F#] and crime in the
street [A] And I'm madder than hell and I ain't [Em] gonna
take it no more [E]
Well, our kids just say no and [D] then some
panty-waist judge lets a drug dealer go [A] Slaps him on the wrist and he turns it back
out [E] on the town Well, if I had my way with people selling dope
[D] I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
[A] I'd hang them up high and let them swing till the sun [E] goes down
[D] Well, you know what's wrong with the world [E] People done gone put their bibles [D] away
They're living by the [A] laws of jungle, not the [E] laws of man
Well, [D] the good books have it so I know it's true
[E] An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you're [D] going, remember
where you've [A] been That's the way I see it, I'm a [E] simple man
Now, I'm the kind of man who wouldn't harm a mouse
But [D] if I catch somebody breaking in my house I [A] got a 12-gauge shotgun waiting on the other
[E] side [Em] [E] So don't go pushing me against my will
I [D] don't want to have to fight you for the darn show wheel
[A] If you don't want trouble then you better just pass [E] me on by
[Em]
[E] As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse [D] For the raping and the killing and the child
abuse [A] I got a way to put an end to [E] all that mess
You just take them rascals out in the swamp Or [D] put them on their knees and tie them to
a [A] stump Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators
[E] do the [D] rest Well, you know what's wrong with the world
[E] People done gone put their bibles [D] away They're living by [A] the laws of jungle, not
