Playing Our Parts Songtext
von Clarence Clarity

Let them come in

How′d you catch a hunter
If you never catch a cold?
If you never think to look up
When you tire of getting old

How'd you starve a fever
If you severed all your ties?
If you never ask the question
And you never guess the why, yeah

And what′s clear to me
The church we made was damned to lose it all
And it was oversold to y'all


If I make the right music
If I don't forget, I′ll be playing
I′ll be playing a part
Benevolent abuser
Even as a kid
You were playing
You were playing your part
Oh, we're playing our parts

How′d you lead the hungered
If you never wet the bed?
If you never wept for mercy
While you're dressed as someone else

How′ll you break your archetype?
You never left the hedge
Dharma Jesus in the wrong book
Father, teach us, what's the end? (Yeah)

And what′s clear to me
The church we made was damned to lose it all
Yeah, I was oversold to y'all

If I make the right music
If I don't forget, I′ll be playing
I′ll be playing a part
Benevolent abuser
Even as a kid
You were playing
You were playing your part
Oh, we're playing our parts


Lockdown in the mire
Was the shotgun to your face
Crackup at the riots
Yeah, but I still know my place

Lead me up the garden path
Believe me, you′re the only one
Teach me, how's your garden grown?
Believe me, I′m your garden now

Action won't define us
You′re distracted, and so brave
That's it, hold the sign-up
And let the plastic melt your face

(Ooh, ooh)
Oh

Lead me up the garden path
Believe me, I'm the chosen one
Lead me up the garden path
Believe me, I′m the chosen one

How dare you start a fire?
Fake a shotgun to your face

Benevolent abuser
Even as you kill
You were playing
You were playing your part
Oh-oh, we′re playing our parts
