Compared To What (With Leela James) (Gene McDaniels Cover)
I love the lie and lie the love Hangin' on, with a push and shove Possession is the motivation Messin' up the whole damn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Everybody now... Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?
Leela James: Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs Tired old ladies kissin' dogs I hate the human, but love that stinking mutt I can use it now.. Try to make it real - compared to what?
Ray Charles: Church on Sunday, sleep and nod Tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preachers fillin' us with fright Teaching what they think is right Well they all got to be some kind of nut I don't dig it.. Tryin' to make it real - compared to what?
Leela James: 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 did it now.. Tried to make it real - compared to what?!
