Intro:
Riff A:
Verse 1:
E5 G5 C5
You don't understand this is not what you think it is.
E5 G5 C5
You don't get it man you want to boilit down to show biz.
Your in-depth research shows:
drop the God, emphasize the beat
I've heard that positive pop you dig--
I'd rather be buried in wet concrete
Chorus: with Riff A
E5 C5 E5 C5
Take back your free advice I don't accept
E5 C5
I will not play those games
B5 D5
God is not a secret to be kept
B5 D5
God is not a secret to be kept
Verse 2: same as first
You don't understand
I'm not talking multiple choice
You don't get it, man
if the cross offends you, find another voice
I am not running for office here
I won't keep it purposefully vague
I've heard New Age Life-force trip
I'd rather be dipped in bubonic plague
Chorus 2: with Riff A
Take back your free advice
I don't accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
If we keep silent
If we mass defect
These very rocks will scream
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
Interlude:
E5 G5 F#5 D5
Bridge:
E5 G5 F#5 D5
And would I wash my hands again?
E5 G5 A5 D5
And would I wash my hands again?
E5
And would I wash my hands again?
F#5
Would I deny my savior when
G5
he hung inside the public square?
A5
Did not my silence put him there?
Chorus: with Riff A
Take back your free advice
I don't accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
If we keep silent
If we mass defect
These very rocks will scream
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept
