[Verse 1] A hundred forms of fear Living in my brain Self-seeking and self-pity Making me insane I always thought the problem Was the bottle or someone else Selfishness, self-centeredness That's the trouble with myself [Pre-chorus] I could not reduce it By wishing or by will Self-knowledge doesn't touch it The selfishness runs still [Chorus] Quit playing God It didn't work Quit playing God God knows it hurts Relieve me of the bondage of self Relieve me of the bondage of self [Verse 2] I ran the whole damn show Arranged everything myself Called it kindness, called it patience Still just serving self Anytime you rebelled I'd rage and I'd despair Never saw the strings I pulled Were never really there [Pre-chorus] I could not reduce it By wishing or by will Self-knowledge doesn't touch it The selfishness runs still [Chorus] Quit playing God It didn't work Quit playing God God knows it hurts Relieve me of the bondage of self Relieve me of the bondage of self [Bridge] Change directors I'm done running things No more weight to carry No more load in my hands Lay it down, lay it down I don't have to understand [Final Chorus] Quit playing God It doesn’t work Quit playing God God knows it hurts Relieve us of the bondage of self Relieve us of the bondage of self [Outro] Used to take, now I give Used to grab, now I'm still Lay it down It's done
