Paramore: Playing God [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

LYRICS
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I've been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy

It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it

I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

"You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you."

Those lyrics are so powerful...especially in times like now, where it seems like the loudest ones are those who constantly complain for themselves and trod upon the silent sufferers.

The most difficult decision you'll ever make in your life is: what is your favourite Paramore song.

[renasmith]

“Next time you point a finger, I’ll point you to the mirror.”

Every time I listen to this song, I think of my relationship with my dad. He has been emotionally abusing me for about 4 years now. It’s a constant cycle of me telling him what he’s done/doing to me and him manipulating my feelings and making them seem invalid. He constantly gaslights me and treats me poorly verbally and emotionally. I move out of the house in 7 months, but it gets harder and harder to live under the same roof as him. This song, though, is one that I turn to when I can’t say/stand up to him with these devastating feelings I have. Thank you, Paramore, for making this song and speaking the words I hold inside almost everyday. ❤️

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it it'll remind me this song again.

[John_Smith]

Brand new eyes was their best album, literally NO skips

[ndls]

Paramore has so many underrated songs. Emergency, When it Rains, Playing God and so much more. Just shows how good paramore is.

[ABendzify]

I am in my mid 30s. in 2006, Give it a Name London, I saw a small band on the 2nd stage before Underoath were on. That band was paramore. I didn't know them then, they blew me away. It was a tiny little stage next to the main stage that Underoath played on. I went home, bought their debut album. 18 years later, I still occasionally bop my heart out to Paramore tunes with my headphones on. One of the most listened to artists of my life. I miss them.

[jefsonmoraisribeiro]

eu queria esquecer essa música só pra sentir a sensação de ouvir ela pela primeira vez de novo.

[onlyplumbobs]

Takes me back to when I was 14 and I talked about Paramore ALL THE TIME. My Mum said it was phase. 11 YEARS LATER AND I'M STILL A PARAMORE FAN AND i TALK ABOUT THEM JUST AS MUCH AS I DID BACK THEN.

[madeleinep.]

Her pink hair was so under-appreciated.

[ErikJason_]

From this video, I haven't seen people talking about the cameos of Jon Howard (former Paramore live member, older brother of Joey Howard) and Hunter Lamb (Former Paramore member from The Summer Tic EP era). Underrated guitarists if you ask me.

[ProgNightmanY]

1:36 sound engineer goes like - "Is this track lacks volume or my monitors got old?" ))

[SlakingJASS]

The most underrated song (single) of Paramore.

[keegs]

This is my favorite Paramore song of all time it’s so authentically her and I love it

[carloscalerogxng]

Don't worry you're not the only one listening this masterpiece in 2022 . Forever Paramore 💞💞

[KaraCamilleDelonas]

I’m not really into this genre of music, but this band is the only exception

[Verse 1]
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Woah

[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

[Verse 2]
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
Woah


[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

[Bridge]
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it

[Chorus]
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror


I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
