The Inconvenient Truth

by Nervus

on Tough Crowd (2019)

[Verse 1]
Keep your mouth shut baby, no one wants you to speak
I  think it's your turn to just smile and agree
And  I appreciate your input but just listen to me
Wouldn't want to bite the hand that feeds, you agree?

You speak about what influenced your poetry
Bukowski  novels that you didn't read
You  weren't far from the mark when you said Morrisey
You're relevant and ageing ungracefully

[Pre-Chorus]
You're  out of touch (out of touch out of touch out of touch)
And out of luck (out of luck out of luck out of luck)
It's not enough (not enough not enough not enough)
To test your luck (test your luck test your luck test your luck)

[Chorus]
We  can't grow unless we root out the weeds that have made us their home
But you don't wanna know and I can't blame you
The truth's inconvenient and you don't need it!

[Verse 2]
Keep your mouth shut baby, no one wants you to speak
I think it's your turn to just smile and agree
And I appreciate your input but just listen to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You're out of touch (out of touch out of touch out of touch)
And out of luck (out of luck out of luck out of luck)
It's not enough (not enough not enough not enough)
To test your luck (test your luck test your luck test your luck)

[Chorus]
We can't grow unless we root out the weeds that have made us their home
But you don't wanna know and I can't blame you
The truth's inconvenient and you don't need it!

[Bridge]
You're out of touch (out of touch out of touch out of touch)
And out of luck (out of luck out of luck out of luck)
It's not enough (not enough not enough not enough)
To test your luck (test your luck test your luck test your luck)

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus: Em, Lucinda, Paul & Jack]
We can't grow unless we root out the weeds that have made us their home
But you don't wanna know and I can't blame you
The truth's inconvenient and you don't need it!
