This modern age we live in
It's hard to figure out
If anybody out there talking
Has a clue what they're talking about
There's twisted trends and psychic friends
And tabloid UFO's
The wisest man in the best laid plan
Might still say "I don't know"
What do you think?
And I say, well
It must not be that different
The ass and the hole in the ground
They often are mistaken for each other I have found
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between their ass and a hole in the ground
Yeah, politics and OJ
Everybody hears enough
But no amount of talking
Can change a mind that's been made up
We've got presidential pillow talk
Know just what to say
Whatever side you're on
One thing's for certain to me anyway
Yeah, it must not be that different
The ass and the hole in the ground
They often are mistaken for each other I have found
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between their ass and a hole in the ground
In the morning paper, in the evening news
It seems so easy to tell
When the Lord looks down at the things we do
He might get angry and He might say, well
It must not be that different
Yeah, life rewards the ones who try until they got it down
The difference between their ass and a hole
Yeah, their ass and a hole
The ass and the hole in the ground
