Consequence Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blink and you miss a beat
Keep one of your eyes open at all times
Think that you're on the brink?
The shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
Consequence, you'll see will be
Stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
Situation has a stink
Better clear the air before your son becomes a man

[Interlude]
Before your son becomes a man

[Verse 2]
Blink, everything's been augmented
You've been left so far behind
I think, for sure, next time you should wear
A pair of eyes in the back of your head
Consequence, you've seen has been
Stranger than sci-fi of any kind
Situation baffles me
I guess it's true you are too one of the walking dead

[Chorus]
You better think fast, think fast
'Cause you never know what's coming around the bend
You better not blink, don't blink
For consequence is a bigger word than you think
[Post-Chorus]
It's bigger than you and me
You or me, you or me
You or me

[Chorus]
You better think fast, think fast
'Cause you never know what's coming around the bend
You better not blink, don't blink
For consequence is a bigger word than you think

[Outro]
It's bigger than you and me
You or me, you or me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
