They Told You

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