    I'm not completely sure yet, but I think this song has been gradually restoring my faith in modern music...

      moonrunner303 There's a lot of great contemporary music. Try Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Sufjan Stevens or Isolation Room

    This is my favorite UMO song. Hearing it live in February was unreal.

      they came to my country 3 weeks ago and sang this song along the other of the multi love album, but I couldn't go to the concert because it was labeled +18 and I'm 17 (like for real, just one year whyy), and the only videos uploaded of the concert were Multi-Love and a new song (search umo chile if you wanna hear it :D) but there was no recording of Necessary Evil (one of my fav songs of umo so far) so I content with watching this beautiful video because the sounds and feelings are unexplainable

    I picked up this song in a restaurant in Birmingham (AL). Been bumping it for a week straight. Love the different parts and how everything meshes together into a nice cohesive whole. Vocals are killing too.

    I was fortunate enough to witness UMO play this in a tiny venue last week. The jam at the end was fucking phenomenal.

    Transform into the animal you need to
    Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
    You need a new drug not invented by the C.I.A
    I wanna be your friend but don't have the self-control
    We're in love
    But I don't get what you see in me
    Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
    Just hangin in here trying to be your
    Necessary evil, necessary evil
    Nobody can get a tan in the moonlight
    Come on inside tell me is it just a bit too much?
    He drooled on a pillow and looked like an angel
    She hit a blunt but it would not chill her out at all
    We're in love
    But she don't get what I see in her
    Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
    Just hangin in here trying to be your
    Necessary evil, necessary evil
    Transform into the animal you need to
    Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
    You need a new drug not invented by the C.I.A
    I wanna be your friend but don't have the self-control
    We're in love
    But I don't get what you see in me
    Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
    Just hangin in here trying to be your
    Necessary evil, necessary evil
