Frank's Enemy - Straight Up/Down lyrics

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 And you can always call us: silenot@safari.net
