Lyrics

The t.v. said just make sure you're old enough
And let your feelings tell you when it's right
What went wrong? she thought it was really love;
Now she wonders why she just can't sleep at night
She knew the rules but they were too old fashioned;
Was it worth the price she has to pay

Chorus
It's either truth or consequences, there's no other way;
Put truth aside, the other takes its place
Well, you can close your eyes but that won't make it go away;
The truth or consequences must be faced

The headlines say our world's in a lot of pain
Hurt from all the selfishness and greed
What went wrong? like sheep all have gone astray;
We'll reap what we sow, don't be deceived
His truth's been given and it's there before us
Written on the page and in our hearts

(Chorus)

As sure as god made the sun to shine
He made the rules we must all live by;
He loved us too much to leave us alone
To our own devices

(Chorus)
