Chorus 1
With all that He's said, why do I have to be told again?
With all that He's written, here I am reading it again and again.
Why do I still groove to the negative tune?
Tell me why, oh, why, why do I think that I'm immune?

Verse 1
Took the pill, it was on sale,
Taste to my liking, it went down well.
Before I knew it, my stomach churned,
Sugar-coated pill, oh, how it burned.

Purchased what I had thought to be a high,
Turned out that it left me high and dry.
Dull in spirit, sick to the soul,
Sugar-coated pill taking me under control.

Repeat Chorus 1

Verse 2
A trace of truth, mixed with the lie,
Prepared in a way that looks safe to buy.
Spoiling my taste, deadening the blow,
Dimming my glow, makes my soul so cold.

The Lord has spelled it out, He said it straight,
Going at this rate will only seal my fate.
I gotta lay off the sounds from the dulling side,
Plug into Him, let His tunes be my guide.

Chorus 2
With all that He's said, why do I have to be told again?
With all that He's written, here I am reading it again and again.
But I'm breaking free from the deadening beat,
Giving ear to His tunes that turn up my heat.
[Oh, turn it up,let's turn it up, oh yeah]

Spoken:
Takin' in the meat the Lord has for me,
I am involved with the elite, I can't take defeat.
Turn up the heat, get off your seat,
Turn up the heat, get with His beat.

Uh huh.
