Play God

You were cracking all your fingers
With your eyes fixed to the floor
Sound it echoed down the street
By the monument you hear
Man is screaming through a megaphone
"Get your hands off the Middle East"
Every word would herd the cynical
Every word would cut your teeth

And he will play God
And he will play God

It's all the same down in the capital
All the suits and cladded feet
Sewer rats will shower the underground
In a race to make ends meet

And he will play God
And he will play God

Am I mistaken
Or are we breaking
Under weight from the long time
That he played God?
Am I mistaken
Or are we breaking
Under weight from the long time
That he played

Living in the "everyone's a winner" generation
"Lads go gym and get bigger" generation
"All the girls wanna get thinner" generation
"Kylie Jenner figure, lip filler" generation
Living in that "never been church" generation
Play God, "try push a Merc" generation
Do so 'til we're in a hearse generation
'Cause deep down, yeah, we are the hurt generation

So fuck it
We got one another
Short skirts all winter
Hoodies all summer
If that's a big tune throw the two finger gun up
Before you leave the house tell your mother that you love her
If it's on top then we're all gonna suffer
If you ain't with us then you know what, fuck ya
Yeah, don't quit your day job
Fuck anybody that's tryna play God

He will play God
He will play God
And he will play God
And he will play God
