Lyrics:
I don’t wanna be your personal Jesus
I don’t wanna live inside of that flame In a way
I wanna be my own believer
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t wanna be the center of the universe
I don’t wanna be a part of that shameIn a way
I wanna be my own redeemer
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t care if everybody else is into it
I don’t care if it’s a popular refrain
I don’t wanna be a puppet in a theater
I don’t wanna play your video game
You don’t wanna be the one who has to pay for it
You don’t wanna be the one who has to change
All you want is what the resumé tells you
I don’t wanna play your video game
Chorus…
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

最高だな
Veramente top!!!
I love this song and this video that so luminously showcases Jalaiah.
this song is a lib take overall but it slaps so I cant complain
RMS MUSIC SOCIETY BEST SONGS OF 2020!
Here from Ms. Lola, she was right
when you put this video on youtube?
The beginning sounds like Acolyte by Delphic.
I love Sufjan, but judging by this song and video, he's never picked up a controller in his life. 🎮
I don’t want to put the devil on a pedestal I don’t want to put the saints in chains I just want to make my life a little easier I don’t wan to play yo video game 👌🏻
https://youtu.be/M7yW-3CEn4w…💪💪💪
I want to be a person dancing on Sufjan vídeos
I LOVE SUF❤️
Its hard to find good music nowadays, this is not the case..Nice Song👌
Love it 😌
renegade girl omg
Love this💓💓💓💓💓
<<3
Not calling this the deserving hot hit of summer 2021, but it goddamn should be
I only know the last line of the chorus so I sing "all you have in your house is Call of Duty I don't wanna play your video games" instead
Still praying for a Sufjan Stevens / Imogen Heap duet.
I'm here from music choice
This is underated
Them: But you can't Dance to Sufjan
Video Games Video: think again
Dance hit of the summer, if it's not that already.
"I don't wanna put the devil on a pedestal
I don't wanna put the saints in chains"
Celebrate life. trump is gone and Covid is disappearing.
Don't let your guard down.
I’m in love with this song 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lana del rey: go play a videogame
Suf: I dont wanna 👁👅👁
Thank you
Amazing song and video ❤️ thank you 🙏🏼
Just discovered this song, can’t get it out of my head
yo where can i get the dancer’s fire fit gaddam what a look
Looking back it, that’s a pretty comfy music video. Really relaxing and satisfying to watch.
Kraftwerk influence much
I listen to this song every day💗💗💗
Very nice! There is still creative/fun Popmusic 👍🏻 Nowadays this is like finding a diamond in a pile of shit.. thank you!
How did I not know about this video!!!??? Sufjan never ceases to amaze me ❤️
I'll say this, the girl in the music video is really cute! Also the way she dances is cute as well! <3
Per essere ulteriormente preciso io sono l'assoluto iddio in vita umana vissuta nelle sue insormontabilita'. E sarò comunque liddio nell'altra sponda o riva.
Comunque
Anyone else getting Radiohead “Idioteque” vibes?
still cant believe Sufjan released the biggest fucking BOPPP of his carreer whew.
"I don't want to love you if you won't receive it. I don't want to save the world that way," is my darling. love this so hard. <3 thank you.
Jalaiah is really such an essential part of this song. I can’t listen to the song on my phone without thinking of her dance. She really solidified herself her and I love it
When my lovely one left me, I decided to fall in love with a far away, like I did as a teen, and Sufjan came around
<3
Jalaiah is sublime
i want her outfit.
Are you sure? Mount & Blade is pretty cool
Warning against the meta verse?
❤️👏👏👏
