Truth and Consequences

(Music - D. Echnoz, Lyrics - D. Echnos, M. Novak)

Born to great advantage His secrets not exposed
Chosen doors are opened Others promptly closed
Star on the rise He’s the perfect choice
Thrust into the spotlight He claims to speak with your voice

The oaths have all been taken The bible’s put away
His innocence is taken From the very first day
It starts with good intentions But the road to hell is paved
The consequences of his compromise He’ll take to his grave

CHORUS:

The truth and consequences of the compromise
Truth and consequences He’ll soon realize
Truth and consequences Fades the stars from his eyes
Truth and consequences His truth begins with lies

Lobbyists and congress Ring the liberty bell
Looking for a payday With a flags on their lapels
Enemies and allies Are one in the same
Wrapped in false morality Praise the Almighty’s name
It starts so slow and quiet The trades they have to make
What’s given what’s taken The fat cat bacon
As the dominoes start to fall And his power starts to fade
He’s abandoned by everyone There’s no more favors left to trade

CHORUS:

His constituents are lining up He’s finally on his way
With abandoned convictions And nothing left to say
Indebted to the powers that Made him this way

CHORUS:

As his house of cards crumbles And his friends abandon ship
His silence won’t protect him He says he’s innocent
Money equals favors The marks have now come due
Compromise can’t pay the debt His words are never true
There are no consequences He has his alibi
There are no consequences It’s all been just a lie
Truth and consequences (repeat)
