When You Play God (The 2018 Copyright Blues)

Each season tries my patience
It’s the winter’s vote tomorrow
But this throne’s a game of nations
Which have summers past to borrow
Plu’s now past now meets rejection
New gods and new complexions
Soundbytes replaced their sections
And they say blind haste for our protection
Maybe Kanye West is insane
But maybe he’s not always wrong
But if you want to play it safe
And keep out of the view of the monster
It’s just best to play along
I recall the Soviet’s union
When a thug took the wheel in the confusion
A crowd lashed out, misread Rasputin
Now the chaos is reigned in by the one called Putin
A man you could say
Who likes to play god
And if you want to play it safe over there
I guess it’s best to just play along
I hear talk of revolution
‘Tween the memes and the noise pollution
Beneath the cracks of facts, confusion
The serf’s grown facts on restitution
And even if you’re not hungry anymore
They want you to play along
And even if you only eat when you really need to
They want you to play along
If a fool can paint your landscape
It’s not the paint that you should question
It’s his view, the strokes which mention
The solution spewed in all direction
The people take the painter’s lesson
But take her heed at our discretion
As earth’s leaves wilt beneath heaped depression
Every man knows that it’s rude
Not to hide an erection
But he does deserve an intervention
When he tries to play god
So the question isn’t the erection
It’s why the people try to play god
I sold my soul so they stole my image
The story and the vibe
In a hack job scrimmage
But I’m an ad in this game
So only god can witness
Even in the dark
One still gets shifted
But if you find that you are weak
Then you must become strong
But if your strength unshackles hatred in yourself and others
Then your strength is wrong
Maybe you treat hate with kindness
And an empath’s eye
Man can’t hate when at its wisest
The two worlds don’t comply
But maybe you need to practice forgiveness
If you want to get others to play along
Or maybe you should hide the seed that grew the apple
If you want to play god
Just go ahead and ignore the seed that grew the apple
If you really have to play god
