Truth Or Consequence (The Powers That Be)

Lyrics:

Your only vanity is the vain of fool’s gold, there behind the dead of your eye
Where the vein of your thought, where the vein of your thought lost the effort for the try

You’re only satisfied, in spite of a fitting reaction
You’re only satisfied, in spite of all the blood on the wall

One for the other, one for the other, you must make an even, honest trade there of them both
All parts, all parts equal, truth or consequence, from the least thereof unto the most

Said, baby, truth or consequence

Your only mind is one of a singular nature, your only power is that of the distorted kind
Where the aim of your threats and the aim of your force extorts the effort for the try

You’re only satisfied in spite of a fitting reaction
You’re only satisfied in spite of the lore of the law

One for the other, one for the other, you must make an even, honest trade there of them both
All parts, all parts equal, truth or consequence, from the least thereof unto the most

Said, baby, truth or consequence
