Lyrics The Crooked Path - Showdown

The Crooked Path

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
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
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
