Play God or Play Dead
Decide Your Destiny: Play God or Play Dead with Powerman 5000
Lyrics
You can be replaced
You are replaceable.
With a prettier face
A more attractive appearance can substitute for you.
and Somethings aren't allowed
Some things are restricted or prohibited.
Without the roar of the crowd
The approval or admiration of the crowd is necessary for certain actions.
But what's the difference anyway
The difference between being replaceable or not is negligible.
As we delay our own decay
Postponing our own deterioration or decline.
Stay asleep or decide to wake
Choosing to remain oblivious or making the decision to become aware.
The only choice that you have to make is
The only decision you have is to:
Play god or play dead
Choose to act like a god, exerting control, or to feign death, submitting to fate.
Here today gone later today
Life is transient, here for a short time and gone quickly.
Ready to take your place is an empty space
An empty space is ready to replace you.
We're disposable the noble rot
We are disposable, subject to decay, but considered dignified in our decay.
Believing everything that we're taught
Blindly accepting and trusting what we are taught.
Don't be mistaken
Do not be misled or confused.
If they come
If external forces or individuals arrive.
And promise all but leave you crumbs to...
They may make promises but only provide minimal rewards.
Play god or play dead
Choose to act with god-like control or remain passive like the dead.
