Condescending Lyrics
This is not pretend
You have no reason to feel secure
Cause this world it waits for no one
So don't you fool yourself
Get out of this imaginary place you call reality
It's so deceiving
Condescending
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
Overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
So tell me once again
How easy it would be if we'd listen to you
And just paid attention
So what's the point in you
Showing us your way if we don't even care
To be around you or even know you?
Condescending
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
Overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
(x2)
I cant do what you say
I can't do it your way
I cant do what you say
I can't do it your way
(x3)
Condescending
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
Overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
Condescending
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
You're so overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
Patronizing
You're overbearing
You're so unbending
You don't understand me
You don't understand me
You have no reason to feel secure
Cause this world it waits for no one
So don't you fool yourself
Get out of this imaginary place you call reality
It's so deceiving
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
Overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
How easy it would be if we'd listen to you
And just paid attention
So what's the point in you
Showing us your way if we don't even care
To be around you or even know you?
If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
Overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving

I can't do it your way
I cant do what you say

If you don't get it your way
You're so condescending
You're so overbearing
If we don't do what you say
You're so unforgiving
You're overbearing
You're so unbending
You don't understand me
You don't understand me

This song really bothered me, it took from the first time I heard it until just a few days ago to figure out what I thought it meant. I'm pretty sure now that this is a song about/to "Christians" that come across as condescending to the people that they are preaching to. Unfortunatly, this happens a lot, (and probably always has). It's the same pharisiacial mindset that Jesus hammerd during his public ministry. It's the "I'm sorry - I can't hear what you are saying because your actions are speaking so loudly".
Anyway - I think this is what it's about - curious that I'm the first person to post on this song since it's been out for over a year or so....
@hisunderdog this whole entire album bugged me just because when it came out in 2008 I was a new Christian. so I had not lived yet spiritually. now that I've heard this album coming up on my 10th year of being saved I understand what this whole entire album was about. some of it was family experiences, experiences Sonny had as a teenager before he got saved, and his newfound life in Christ which has its ups and downs due to our sinful nature or other people sadly. In a recent interview he said he had a problem with...

In a recent interview he said he had a problem with the Westernized version of Christianity where you have to look good, Be clean-shaven and no tattoos, which isn't biblical. But I think you hit it on the head it's his struggle with other Christians Who made him feel inferior.
@hisunderdog what's really sad though is 8 years earlier in their album satellite they had a song called "anything right" which had the same message. Meaning even 8 years later sonny still felt that way because his fellow christians.
