[Verse 1]
You were cracking all your fingers
With your eyes fixed to the floor
Sound had 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

[Refrain]
And he will play God
And he will play God

[Verse 2]
It's all the same down in the capital
All the suits and clattered feet
Sewer rats will shower the underground
In a race to make ends meet

[Refrain]
And he will play God
And he will play God

[Chorus]
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 God?

[Refrain]
He will play God

[Spoken]
Well, that was a bit anticlimactic

[Verse 3]
No matter who you are or where you've been
He is watching from the screen
Keeps a keen eye on the in-between
From the people to the queen

[Refrain]
And he will play God
And he will play God

[Chorus]
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 God?

[Outro]
He will play God
And he will play God
And he will play God
And he will play God
