The lyrics are legit, but I think these are only a few lines. The song is pretty long so I'm not sure if there are parts missing.

This song is about a band member that Hayley has declined to name (for obvious reasons) but in my opinion I think she's talking about Josh here.

Like people have mentioned already, the lyrics are very self-explanatory. Hayley feels pressured by this band mate because she's changed and he doesn't like the change - "You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging". He's probably been judging her - "next time you point a finger" - and making her feel bad about herself - "just keep on cramming ideas down my throat". So this is her retaliation to him, and the song is called "Playing God" because he thinks he's above her and he is more 'holy' - "It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy" - while she - "It's just my humble opinion, but one I firmly believe in" - believes that he is far from godly.

The reason why I believe this is Josh is because I know that he's been saying that Chad Gilbert has 'changed' Hayley. If thats not enough proof of who this song is about, I don't know what is. Also, from what I've seen (not that they all aren't good good friends, but) Taylor and Jeremy are much more chummy with Hayley than Josh and Zac are.

I think this whole album will be good for the whole band (even though Taylor probably has no part, or little part, in the other four's fighting since he hasn't been with them as far back as AWKIF). They need to work out their issues and an album is a perfect way to do so.

yeahh, i really do think Chad has changed Hayley as a person a lot; and i think Josh is still hurt over his and Hayley's relationship that ended.

I hate to say it but i really see Paramore going the way of No Doubt just waiting for that last really bad album this one isn't it

you do know the whole album is based on it and i think if they dont work out their problems soon they may not be a band no more and i would die because i love paramoreeee sooo sooo soo much it aint even funny
