The Crooked One Lyrics

Umphrey's Mcgee The Crooked One

When your concept retires
Will you still know how to struggle
Until your conscious is tired?
Don't even guess if you're not sure.

But be prepared for some variations
And crooked conversations.
But if your focus is bold
You won't be guilty when you're old.

The garbage they've been selling should not fail to

And now it's distorted and stale.


So the context was twisted and everyone missed it
Except for the obvious sign.
And the truth that they followed was empty and hollow
But nobody spoke up in time.

When your concept retires
Will you still know how to struggle?
Until your conscious is tired
Don't even guess if you
