Truth And Consequences Lyrics

Music by Peter Furler
Lyrics by Steve Taylor

poster child for the Christian single
dumped on more than a birdhouse shingle
tired of the same old crowd, she starts to
mingle where she don't belong
all God's bachelors hanging in a bunch
wolves in Wool-lite beat 'em to the punch
score another knockout, barely bought her lunch
what went wrong?

let's talk about real life
truth and consequences
and coming to our senses
and lies we'd best unlearn

let's talk about real love
truth and propaganda
are you really gonna stand for
love that waits its turn?

I am the voice of the male agenda
sensitive, strong or shy, I tend to
act anyway that would possibly send you
somewhere we can be alone

you're so sure I'm a would be Christian
suckered by the "Untamed Heart" condition
love that feminine intuition
seen that movie, too

let's talk about real life...

Ok, ok, ok - you've got me 
figured out, I'm a sham, I 
never actually studied for the 
priesthood. I've had lots of 
destructive relationsps, and 
I know I don't deserve 
someone like you anyway. It's 
just, there's this strange 
purity about you...almost a 
radiance. Maybe it comes from 
your religious beliefs, I don't 
know. I guess what I'm trying 
to say is, you're unlike any 
woman I've ever met...is it 
getting hot in here? Can I help 
you with that jacket? 

No, no, I know you've got to 
go...Oh! No, it's nothing. I've 
just got this really bad kink in 
my neck...you don't suppose 
you could just massage it a 
little, could you?
