We’ve crossed them in the workplace and 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
