I don’t wanna play, I don’t wanna play (I just wanna go away) I don’t wanna play your video game I don’t wanna love you if won’t receive it I don’t wanna save the world that way I don’t wanna be your personal Jesus I don’t wanna play your video game I don’t wanna put the devil on a pedestal I don’t wanna put the saints in chains I just wanna make my life a little easier I don’t wanna play your video game Chorus... I don’t wanna be your Julius Caesar I don’t want it to go down that way But in a way you gotta follow the procedure So go ahead and play your video game Chorus... Sufjan Stevens: drums and percussion, Tempest, Prophet 08, Prophet 6, vocals Casey Foubert: bass guitar* James McAlister: additional drums and percussion*
