Lyrics

They told you that the fire’s always burning
They told you not to climb up on the wall
They told you not to play games with Satan
So don’t come crying home when you fall

They told you not to spend all your money
At the corner candy store, where sin begins
Just remember spying angels may be watching
So look around before you step in

They told you, yes, they told you
They told you exactly what to do
They told you, yes they told you
They told you, so it all must be true

They told you not to laugh at the teacher
They told you that you had no point of view
They bound and gagged that clown in the classroom
And showed all the world the joke’s on you

They told you, yes, they told you
They told you exactly what to do
They told you, yes they told you
They told you, so it all must be true

They told you there’s a place called heaven
But you have to know somebody to get in
Start makin’ friends in high places
And all will go well in the end

They told you, yes, they told you
They told you exactly what to do
They told you, yes they told you
They told you, so it all must be true
