Straight Up/down Lyrics - Franks Enemy

I told you about the work and all that it means 

God came down as Jesus and fulfilled the the ultimate dream 

A gift wrapped in His blood and it's ours to take 

You will hear that the just shall live by faith 

But I sing a song sung so many times before 

A familiar message with familiar holes 

You should have questions and they should be answered 

It will not happen while I stand up here and you sit down there 

Straight up/down 

The time will come 

There's more to the Gospel than this 

But everybody seems to want the Reader's Digest 

I too am guilty of encapsulation 

To a concise five-step plan of salvation 

But can you blame me when we're on the Titanic 

On this sinking system of things satanic 

Like Paul walking down the gallery of the gods 

In a battle where it gets hard to like the odds 

Straight up/down 

I could be hit and run and shove it down your throat 

To win the argument would be my highest hope 

And maybe make you say the words and pray they're true 

Just like how everybody taught me to do 

But you could grab the Book and start to read for yourself 

Not decide on your afterlife from the words of my mouth 

Matthew Mark Luke John could probably tell the story best
