Playing God Again

(album: Western White Pines - 2023)

On the corner, I hear people talking about the end of times
And as I wander, well, I can't see any end in sight
It's got me thinkin, that there's nothing we can do to stop the dawn
But ain't it funny, how the truth ain't the same for everyone

Well, that pain's been steady
But the pills do what they can
The young fight for the living
While the rest live in the past
Is that weight getting heavy
Did you ever give a damn
Here we are playing God again

Winter's coming, I can see the birds head south toward the sun
It's day by day, but the seeds are already sewn
So, take it easy, just sit back and watch the future unfold
And all I know is that those the minutes are going cold

Well, the pain's been steady
But the pills do what they can
The young fight for the living
While the rest lives in the past
Is that weight getting heavy
Did you ever give a damn
Here we are playing God again

Well, I've been waiting on the punch line all day
Maybe life is just a joke and that's all there is to say

Well, the pain's been steady
But the pills do what they can
The young fight for the living
While the rest lives in the past
Is that weight getting heavy
Did you ever give a damn
Here we are playing God again
Here we are playing God again
Here we are playing God again
