A song that really strikes me in these times

[Prime2U]

Years ago Charlie Daniels wrote a song, "Simple Man", that I've always felt echoed my views on a lot of issues. I heard the song today and it really impacted me with regards to the terrorist attacks and the retaliation in progress. So I thought I'd share it for those who share my views. I realize there are many that don't share my views, and I'm glad about that, else we'd all be Borg If that's the case, just let it slide please, it's just a song, not a statement by me

I ain't nothing but a simple man.
They call me a redneck, I reckon that I am,
but there's things going on make me mad down to the core.
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet.
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street,
and I'm madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.

We tell our kids to just say, "No."
And then some panty waist judge lets the drug dealer go,
slaps him on the wrist, and he turns him back out on the town.
Well if I had my way with people selling dope,
take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope.
I'd hang him up high and let him swing 'till the sun goes down.

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today?
People done gone put their Bibles away.
They're living by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land.
Well, the goodbook says it so I know it's the truth,
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
You better watch where you're going, remember where you've been.
That's the way I see it. I'm a simple man.

Now I'm the kind of man would not harm a mouse,
but if I catch somebody breaking in my house
I got a twelve gauge shotgun a waiting on the other side.
So don't go pushing me against my will.
I don't want to have to fight you, but I darn sure will.
If you don't want trouble then you better just pass me on by.

As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
for the raping and the killing and the child abuse.
I got a way to put an end to all that mess.
You just a take them rascals out in the swamp,
a put them on their knees and tie them to a stump.
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest.

Well, you know what's wrong with the world today?
People done gone put their Bibles away.
They're living by the law of the jungle, not the law of the land.
Well, the goodbook says it so I know it's the truth,
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
you better watch where you're going, remember where you've been.
That's the way I see it. I'm a simple man.

I'm not really with these posts that say 'if you don't agree, just say nothing. ' Just another, polite but potentially effective way of gagging the minority. ......

Disagree if you want to, but without attacking the postee, right? That's the name of the game as far as I'm concerned.

A simple song indeed.......... The law of the land is not synonymous with the bible..... And bibles haven't stopped any wars that I can see....... Could say that all those misinterpretations have started a few, though.... lotta people butting heads on whose way is right....

Just my $2 billion dollars worth........ But if that's the way you feel dude, cool! Keep on trucking thar. ........ whatever....
