The Facts Of Life Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sweetmonkeyluv 

Cover art for The Facts Of Life lyrics by Talking Heads

One of my favorite Talking Heads songs. Seems to be a lament of the notion that "love" (and other human behavior) is nothing more transcendent than a simple and uncontrollable biochemical reaction which is probably no different than any other animals experience.

Lyrics that always haunt me in this song, and which I have no great explanation for, are "I'm afraid that God has no master plan. He only takes ... what he can use".
