Domino Theory (01.19.20 Brooklyn, NY) Songtext
von Umphrey’s McGee

Well, basically it′s not what it seems
It's too late to argue with me
You think you figured out this machine
Well, you′re way off, you're way off

If I rolled up my sleeves
You should stand back, just stand back
You'll take it if it′s coming from me
You take everything from everybody

You′re falling down like a stack of dominoes
Your secrete was safe but now everybody knows
Your demeanor was cleaner
But now clean just ain't enough
This unexpected, misdirected you
You don′t even know that you're stuck

So I can be just one of two things
What′s good for you might not be for me
As superficial as it might seem
I got my mind made up, it's made up


Time won′t work, you tried
Hes' out of town and he ain't coming back
Your provisions made you go blind
What then are you looking at?

It could be charity or not I don′t know
Let me off of this suggestion before you implode
Based on the pretexts
Of your reflexes about my complaint
You need to more than reconsider
So the bigger picture never goes blank

I don′t care or not if you agree
It's way to late to argue with me
Details that you′re trying to see
You're all talk, you′re all talk

I appreciate you trying
But you're way off, you′re way off
I feel like I've been shopping antiques
It's the same shit, it still stinks


You′re falling down like a stack of dominoes
You′re secrete was safe but now everyone knows
Your demeanor was cleaner
But now clean just ain't enough
This unexpected, misdirected you
You don′t even know that you're stuck

On a sidewalk
That runs into a corner
Better turn around quick
Don′t say I didn't warn you

Soon or late it was bound to happen
Faster than you′d think
You need to more than reconsider
So the bigger picture never goes blank
