The Inconvenient Truth

[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

Irrelevant 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 just show up (just show up just show up just show up)

[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

Wouldn’t want to bite the hand that feeds

[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 just show up (just show up just show up just show up)

[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 just show up (just show up just show up just show up)

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 just show up (just show up just show up just show up)

[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

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

The truth's inconvenient and you don't need it
