Lyrics

Playing God

I'll smoke them out
I'll send them running
I'll make my name
I'll become something

Because it's up to me
It's up to me to do the dirty work

Call off the dogs, I can see through the fog
And I'll kill 'cause I want to
Call off the dogs or I'll keep playing God
And I'll kill 'cause I want to

I'll smoke 'em out
I'll make them afraid of me
I won't hold back
'Cause the whole world's gonna see

Hmm, because it's up to me
It's up to me to do the dirty work

Call off the dogs, I can see through the fog
And I'll kill 'cause I want to
Call off the dogs or I'll keep playing God
And I'll kill 'cause I want to

Because it's up to me
It's up to me to do the dirty work

Call off the dogs, I can see through the fog
And I'll kill 'cause I want to
Call off the dogs or I'll keep playing God
And I'll kill 'cause I want to
