“Playing God” Lyrics [4]
Song by Motionless In White:
Intro: Corey Taylor & Chris Motionless, Chris Motionless
Ugh, get the f*** up
Yeah
UghVerse 1: Chris Motionless
Ugh, all that I see in the face of
What you wanna be is a cleverly manicured fake
Just a cliché in a roleplay
Runnin’ on praise ’cause irrelevance has no shameRefrain: Corey Taylor, Chris Motionless & Corey Taylor
Lie, ’cause you know that it’s toxic
Beg, ’cause you can’t help yourselves
Breed a parasocial disease at the hands of a screen you know so wellPre-Chorus: Chris Motionless & Corey Taylor
You’re mine, m*********** (f*****)
(So come and get it, come and get it)
When you fall, I’ll be there as you hit the bottom
I am death by engagementChorus: Chris Motionless
So f*** you, you falsify truth to fabricate views
‘Cause without ’em, you’re nothing
So get f***** or shut the f*** up
I will never bow down to a platform of puppets playing God, goVerse 2: Corey Taylor
Fear the pressure, feel the noise
Feed the vultures to fill the void
Farm deception, fuel the trend
Like a moth to a flame, you would burn for the contentRefrain: Chris Motionless, Chris Motionless & Corey Taylor
Lie, ’cause you know that it’s toxic
Beg, but you can’t help yourselves
Cast your curse in the commentsChorus: Corey Taylor, Chris Motionless, Corey Taylor & Chris Motionless
So f*** you, you falsify truth to fabricate views
‘Cause without ’em, you’re nothing
So get f***** or shut the f*** up
I will never bow down or submit to the judgment
Of powerless puppets playing GodBridge: Chris Motionless
Cash in all your clicks, let the drama dig a gold mine
Desperate for a fix as your pixel-perfect well dries
Grovel like a b**** on your knees for the applause
Lick the f****** dirt off my boots like a good dogBreakdown: Corey Taylor & Chris Motionless
Blegh
Cash in all your clicks ’til you’re rich off the ragebait
Worthless on your own, just a slave to the hot take
Grovel like a b**** on your knees for the applause
Lick the f****** dirt off my boots like a good dog
Writer(s): Chris Motionless, Tom Hane, Steve Sopchak, Justin Morrow, Evan Mckeever, & Drew Fulk
