"They Won't Tell You" lyrics

Good morning America glad to tune you in
Days of our lives
It ran right to the end
For your morning excitement
You'll catch The Price is Right
Your midday romance You'll find on
The Edge of Night

And we'll take a pause to tell you what you need
To get through The Days of our Lives and to succeed
A pill for pain, some soap to clean you up
A brand new car and some coffee to fill your cup

But they won't tell you what you need to know
(They won't tell you)
Jesus paid the price to free your soul
(Jesus freed you)
The TV keeps you strung out on the pages of this world
While the radio keeps you hooked on the rock'n'roll

I tell you, it don't make no sense at all
But it's been that way ever since the fall
Powers of darkness tryin' to do you in
Drivin' you deeper and deeper into your sin

Now it's time to turn on the evenin' news
But I'd rather hear Muddy Waters sing the blues
You've gotta keep up to know what's goin' down
Who's winnin' and losin', which side's gainin' ground

A little bit later we'll turn on some comic relief
Hah, somethin' funny to make you show your teeth
A Fantasy Island to help you get away
A celebrity show to see what they got to say

But you won't find it on the Johnny Carson show
(They won't tell you)
And Norman Lear won't put you in the know
(Jesus freed you)
Archie Bunker, he will say goodbye when the season ends
But Jesus will always be your friend

I tell you, there's just one way to go
Turn on your life, turn off the picture show
Stand in the love and the light of reality
Accept Him as Lord and He will set you free

But you won't find it in the People magazine
(They won't tell you)
The Truth, the Life, the One who makes you clean
(Jesus freed you)
Charlie's Angels cannot save you
From the darkness in this world
Barnaby Jones, he cannot clue you in

I'll tell you, they won't tell you what you need to know
(They won't tell you)
Jesus paid the price to free your soul
(Jesus freed you)
TV keeps you strung out on the pages of this world
While the radio keeps you hooked on the rock'n'roll

Yeah, they won't tell you
(They won't tell you)
What you need to know
(Jesus freed you)
What you need to know
