God is Not a Secret
Music by Peter Furler
Lyrics by Steve Taylor & Peter Furler

 You don't understand. This is not what you think it is.
You don't get it, man. You want to boil it 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.

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.

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 that New Age life-force trip. I'd rather be dipped in bubonic plague.

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.

And would I wash my hands again?
And would I wash my hands again?
And would I wash my hands again?
Would I deny my Savior when He hung inside the public square?
Did not my silence put Him there?

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.
God is not a secret to be kept.
God is not a secret to be kept.
