Playing God Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I've been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah
[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
[Verse 2]
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah
[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
[Bridge]
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
[Chorus]
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

All five of us met up at Zac [Farro, drums] and Josh’s house and sat around their living room with two acoustic guitars and [bassist] Jeremy Davis’ bass. Josh and Taylor [York, guitar] started playing these two picking guitar lines–it felt very Jimmy Eat World-ish. Naturally, we were all into it. I...
What is the song about?
Hayley said
Along with ‘Ignorance’, this song is about feeling judged or looked at through a narrow mindset. Someone just doesn’t get you – so, clearly – you’re in the wrong… I have long passed been over it. There was a point where it was close to controlling me. It’s hard to live under a microscop...
