Lyrics
CONSEQUENCES ©Joy Flanakin
Music and Lyrics by Joy Flanakin
Well, you thought you could be a schmuck
And then go and cover it up
Well I'm here to tell you
They'll be consequences
Well, I bought all of your lies
And you made me compromise
Well, honey here it comes
Consequences
How could you be so blind
Never to realize
That in a very short time
You'll be cut down to size
Well you called it love and then covered it up
You were riding high and full of luck
But you'll see the sky's yea the sky's
about to fall
You thought you had it under control
You thought you had me bought and sold
The things you've done will follow you
the rest of your life
How could you be so blind
Never to realize
That in a very short time
You'll be cut down to size
So glad I found out in time
So glad I never called you mine
So glad I never was your wife
Oh consequences, sweet revenge
Consequences it all depends
If in time you will
Apologize
But by then it will be too late
By then you have sealed your fate
Goodbye schmuck
Tuck your tail and run
And I hope I'll be around
To see it all coming down
Glass houses falling to the ground
The sound of consequences
There will be consequences
