Don’t Make Me Have To Come Down There

Last night I had a dream about God

He was standing on a mountain top

Looking down, around in such dismay

And in my dream I heard him say

Don't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware

If you don’t pay attention, consequences will be dire

Don't make me have to come down there

I've told you time and time again

You can't disobey and hope to win

I am still the boss here in case there's any doubt

You know I put you in this world and I can take you out

Don't make me have to come down there

You've always been my cross to bear

I've let you try my patience as all good Fathers do

You're on my last nerve, I have had it up to here with you

<span begin="1:22.438" end="1:25.656">I gave you a book, you didn't read it</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:25.118" end="1:27.035">(You didn't read it)</span></span>

<span begin="1:26.841" end="1:30.141">I gave you my word, you didn't heed it</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:29.230" end="1:31.163">(You didn't heed it)</span></span>

<span begin="1:30.907" end="1:34.259">Gave you a map, you said you didn't need it</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:33.565" end="1:35.282">(You didn't need it)</span></span>

And now you've lost direction and you're wandering aimlessly

<span begin="1:39.143" end="1:42.430">Don’t make me have to come down there</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:42.642" end="1:44.025">(Don’t make me)</span></span>

<span begin="1:43.960" end="1:46.904">This is not a game of truth or dare</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:46.977" end="1:48.242">(Don’t make me)</span></span>

Now I don't want to punish you, but if it has to be

This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me

Don't make me have to come down there

Bridge this great divide and make repairs

Go to your room and pray till you can learn to play fair

Don't make me have to come down there

Politics, earthquakes, erratic weather

Pandemics, war, and hate

Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye; I am wondering whether

I should take my Bible belt and whip you into shape

Don't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware

Clean up this mess and put on something decent to wear

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware

Why can’t you learn to listen, and learn to love and share

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me, don't make me

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me come down there

Don't make me have to come down there

Don't make me, don't make me

Don't make me have to come down there
