It's just another lie to sell to me
But I'm not buying
To live the way they do on Mtv
Yeah you're trying

Just a little too hard and we can see through
There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you
what you should like and what you should do
Will you fall in with the world or will you say--

We won't pay for a lie!
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!

We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.

To them you're just a number on a page
A target market
Try it out on someone your age
and hope you buy it

You're trying too hard and we can see through
There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you
what you should like and what you should do
Will you fall in with the world or will you say--

We won't pay for a lie!
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!

We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.

There is a decision to be made
Will you conform?
That is how the companies get paid
Or are you transformed?

You pay somebody to poison your mind
Will you be a target marker or will you be a gold mine?
There's a brainwash store and they're waiting in line
Will you fall in with the world or will you say--

We won't pay for a lie
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!

We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
To the cult of cool.
