The Charlie Daniels Band - Simple man

^EI ain't nothin' but a simple man They ^Dcall me a redneck I reckon that I am But there's ^Athings going on That make me mad down to the ^Ecore.

There's ^Dcrooked politicians and crime in the street And I'm ^Amadder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no ^Emore. ^EWe tell our kids to just say no Then some ^Dpanty waist judge lets a drug dealer go ^ASlaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the ^Etown. ^ENow if I had my way with people sellin' dope I'd take a ^Dbig tall tree and a short piece of rope I'd ^Ahang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes ^Edown Well, you ^Dknow what's wrong with the world today ^APeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're ^Dliving by the law of the ^Ajungle not the law of the ^Eland ^DThe good book says it so I know it's the truth ^AAn eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better ^Ewatch where you go and ^Dremember where you been ^AThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple ^EMan. ^ENow I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse But if I ^Dcatch somebody breakin in my house I've got ^Atwelve guage shotgun waiting on the other ^Eside ^ESo don't go pushing me against my will I don't ^Dwant to have to fight you but I dern sure will So^A if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on ^Eby ^EAs far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the ^Draping and the killing and the child abuse And ^AI've got a way to put an end to all that ^Emess ^EJust take them rascals out in the swamp ^DPut 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump Let the ^Arattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the ^Erest You ^Dknow what's wrong with the world today ^APeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're ^Dliving by the law of the ^Ajungle not the law of the ^Eland T^Dhe Good Book says it so I know it's the truth ^AAn eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth ^EYou better watch where you go and ^Dremember where you been ^AThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple ^EMan
