Don’t Make Me Have To Come Down There Lyrics
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.
I gave you a book, you didn’t read it.
I gave you my word, you didn’t heed it.
Gave you a map, you said you didn’t need it.
And now you’ve lost direction and you’re wandering aimlessly.
Don’t make me have to come down there.
This is not a game of truth or dare.
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 ’til 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.
