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
