Where The Rubber Meets The Road Lyrics
And some boy's half out of his head
Somewhere somebody's fearless
And someone won't wind up dead
Somewhere two hearts are pounding
And they don't care what's correct
Somewhere somebody's fallin' in love
Without a background check...
I'm the ultimate king of correct
And if you wanna make it you gotta make her take it
As a sign of your deep respect
If you're gonna do it you gotta see through it
To the heavenly trust that it is
Then you can call her a slut
And you can call her a slave
If you remember to call her Ms...
Welcome to protection mode
Used to be sex was a fine hello
Now the rubber meets the road
I got a little contract right here
See, you can slam on the brakes
Anytime you got the stick
Even if we're in fourth gear
Cop in the front seat, lawyer in the back seat
Gettin' it on videotape
Got a shrink in the bed, Lord, sittin' on the headboard
Swearin' that we both got raped...
Welcome to protection mode
Used to be sex was a fine hello
Now the rubber meets the road
Where the rubber meets the road
Boy meets Girl then watch it explode
Yes means no means yes means no
Where the rubber meets the road!
And some boy's half out of his head
Somewhere somebody's fearless
And someone won't wind up dead
Somewhere two hearts are pounding
And they don't care what's correct
Somewhere somebody's fallin' in love
Without a background check
Somewhere somebody's fallin' in love
Without a background check
Welcome to protection mode
Used to be sex was a fine hello
Now the rubber meets the road
Where the rubber meets the road
Boy meets Girl then watch it explode
Yes means no means yes means no
Yes means no means yes means no
Yes means no means yes means no
Where the rubber meets the road
Where the rubber meets the road!...
And some boy's half out of his head
Some where there's just the moment
Where all remains unsaid
Somewhere two hearts are pounding
And they don't care what's correct
Somewhere somebody's falling in love...
Early incel Republican brainwashing, angry about "political correctness" and consent.
This is a very good song. Judging from the lyrics, it is about birth control (rubber) and teens living on the wildside.
Well I don't know about the rubber being explicitly a reference to rubbers as such... but it's a good song, I'd say it was more just talking about when it gets right down to it (whatever it is). Doesn't sound like Meatloaf & Steinman's style to debase it like that to be honest. It's more about the intensity of his world put in a way we can all identify with, characteristically slightly too close for normal comfort in music which is why he's just sooooooo good. :)
"Where the rubber meets the road" wasn't written by Jim Steinman, it was written by Sarah Durkee and Paul Jacobs. Only two songs on Welcome to the Neighbourhood were written by Steinman, "Original Sin" and "Left In the Dark".

Meat's opinions on modern sexual politics. One of the better songs of a pretty weak album.
i thought welcome to the neighbourhood was a pretty good album i liked all the songs on it. this is a fantastic song
Welcome to the Nieghborhood is his best ablbum besides the Bat trilogy in my opinion....I LOVE MEAT LOAF!!!!
If you ask me, it's a critique of the politically correct society, along with the blame culture and nanny state. "Used to be sex..." implies a desire of return to the permissive days of before. A good song, intense, and brilliantly close to the bone.
Meat Loaf rocks. No discussion.
