Lyrics
We’ve crossed them in the workplace an’ seen ‘em at the bar They have the attitude, jewelry an’ the fancy car They think they’re better than the rest, in fact they seem to know it They think they fool us with their act and for a fact they show it Don’t act like God unless you can pay the price Unless you can watch the evenin’ news an’ go on bein’ nice He’s been around a block or two and it’s best to think twice No, don’t act like God unless you can pay the price That orn’ry neighbor probably knows as much as me or you It’s a safe bet none of us knows everything that’s true Instead of usin’ two fists bein’ nice just might suffice An’ if you pay a little attention he might have some good advice No, don’t act like God unless you can pay the price Unless you can watch the evenin’ news an’ go on bein’ nice Unless you can care even though your book’s no longer read In a foolish school that ignores the best words ever said You know, God said we should treat others like we want ‘em treatin’ ourselves An’ no one’s come up with a better idea in all the books on history’s shelves So, don’t act like God unless you can pay the price And give your son because there is no greater sacrifice Unless you can turn your back when five-inch nails go in the wood And go on carin’ knowin’ that your love will never be understood Yeah, don’t act like God unless you can pay the price Unless you can forgive anyone without havin’ to think twice Even when everyone ignores everything you ever said An’ refuses to believe in you even if you raise the dead
