Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - Compared to What - Closer To It (1973)

Another Night, another love
I'm hangin' on they push and shove
Whose essence is the motivation
Hangin' up the goddamn nation
Looks like we always end up in That rut
I can't use it
Tryin' to make it real compared to what

President he's had his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt they call it treasonLooks like we always end up in That rut
I can't use it
Tryin' to make it real compared to what

Another Night, another love
I'm hangin' on they push and shove
Whose essence is the motivation
Hangin' up the goddamn nation
Looks like we always end up in That rut
I can't use it
Tryin' to make it real compared to what

Church on Sunday sleep and nod
Tryin' to duck the wrath of God
Preachers fillin' us with fright
They all tryin' to teach us what they think is right
They really got to be some kind of nut
I can't use it
Tryin' to make it real compared to what


Tryin' to make it real compared to what!
