Straight Up/down Lyrics
Straight Up/down by Frank Zappa
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
