Unintended Consequence

I'm an unintended consequence

The result of all your overconfidence

You're a victim of your own success

I'm the unintended consequence

I'm the cause of all your coming discontent

You can plan but you cannot prevent

Save your family from a shrinking universe

Once the tipping has come there's no return

You've changed yourself to be what you've become

You'll change everything the sun

I'm an unintended consequence when the problem

That you're facing is immense

And the solution that you implement backfires badly

And leads to something worse

To the drawing board once more

And that's your curse

I'm an unintended consequence

The result of all your overconfidence

I'm the unintended consequence

I'm the cause of all your coming discontent

I'm the unintended consequence

And there's no way to calculate the expense

Though you cannot predict when

There's gonna be an unintended consequence
