EXSUS is an innovative progressive Metal band who combines an innovative low tuning with a Nu-Metal tone. EXSUS was formed in 2000 and has slowly evolved to one of the premier bands on the Little Rock local scene. The line up includes: Jason Johnson (Guitar/vocals), Nick (Guitar), Ryan "Bubba" Hall (Bass), and the young drumming prodigy Reed Barrett. The combination of influences between the two founding members, Jason and Nick have produced local hits such as Playing God, Madness and LUST, who some say sound like everything from System of a Down, Korn to Danzig. The band has played regionally and is currently playing on the local circuit. EXSUS has played other smaller venues throughout the local area and party’s to entertain its many fans. EXSUS recently has completed their first full length self titled CD and is availiable on request. If your interested in receiving a CD, please contact us and we will gladly send you a copy.

Story behind the song
Working in a horrible factory!!!
Lyrics
PLAYING GOD
You criticize me, I question me, I grab your throat
You try to scream, silent scream, you’re being choked
Little girl? Little boy? Guess I’ll never know
APOLOGIZE. Why? I want to see it in your eyes, why you…
Growing up in a world with no reality, Your only family lives in the TV
Role model, pick and choose who you want to be, Slowly but surely you’re going crazy
Killing people, cause you watched the wrong station, had technical difficulties,
And won a lifetime vacation. It’s too late to change now, now you’re fucked up,
And its all cause your TV was…
My life is run by a million laws, creating new ones just to serve their cause,
Always looking for a way to take my ends,
You better fight it, you know they’re gonna do it again.
Courts and the system, never gonna listen
The way they’re runnin’ shit makes me wanna buy a pistol,
Don’t make a mistake or they’ll choose your fate
YOU’RE NOW A VICTIM!
Playing God-Tired of being judged by a….
Playing God-Suit and tie, Sittin….
Playing God-Try to run my…..
Don’t need your shit, don’t need your fix, don’t need your bitchin’, try to run me
Playing God-Tired of being judged by an idiot!!!
Playing God-Suit and tie, Sittin’ high!!!
Playing God-Try to run my life?!!!
Don’t need your shit, don’t need your fix, don’t need your bitchin’, try to run me Don’t need your shit!, Don’t want your shit ANYWAY!!!!!
Went to church just to set my mind at ease
Wasn’t there 5 minutes, I had to leave
Preacher said my life was a tragedy
I had more sins than he said he had ever seen.
Supposed to be helping me not judging me, you need to stop.
So far the only thing you’ve done is just piss me off.
I you ask me I think you suck at your job,
Thought you was good, but realized your Playing God.
Tired of everybody tellin’ me what to do.
If this is my life why can’t I live it through
Everywhere I turn face first in a wall,
Made of laws won’t you help me break it down.
You criticize me i question me, I grab your throat.
You try to scream, silent scream, you’re being choked.
Little girl? Little boy? Guess I’ll never know,
APOLOGIZE. I want to see it in your….
Why do you have the right to, kill a part of me without even asking?
If I see you I’m gonna put you down
Playing me?Playing you right in the ground!!!
Playing me?Playing you right in the ground!!!
APOLOGIZE. I want to see it in your eyes.
