Christian radio, it always comes off so glossy
and those processed prophets always sound so bossy

And I'm sure, deep down, they'd never ever hurt a flea
so why on earth should it bother me?

Christian radio, they've always got a quick solution
with thoughts as deep as the bumper sticker paper they're written on

And I'm sure, deep down, they'd never ever hurt a flea
but it's a giant plastic holiness factory

Christian radio, the music's got no feel
but only fitting because they don't make God sound real

Do you ever have doubt, do you ever have fear?
Well, sorry, but there's no place for you here
This is Christian radio

You gave them 66 books to work with
you'd think they could do better than that
All show, no story, no pain, all glory
You didn't live a life like that

Christian radio, you'd think they never left the church yard
but every day isn't Sunday, and the other six make faith really hard

And I'm sure, somewhere, there's a soul behind this soulless strumming
but will the DJ's notice in time for the Second Coming?

There's more to Jesus than meets the ear on Christian radio
