Lyrics

The Crooked Path

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You need a house

You need a yard

You need a wife

You need a car

You need a 5 year plan and a respectable name

Because safe and sound is the name of the game

Time share, mortgage, 401k

Consume, Consume

Bankrupt, blank eyed, but thanks for playing

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

[Solo - Patrick Judge]

You're not a man, you're just a pawn

You may be free, but not for long

You may be black, you may be white,

Under the heel you have no rights

So find a suburb, good school, big TV

Consume, Consume

And fill the hole with distractions, be entertained

Consume, Consume

(The endless light)

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

[Solo - Patrick Judge]

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

I will cross the crooked path

I will live what all men dream

I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

Oh, bring it on, boys
