Hush now, chant loud
They all have their own words
And what they claim
As their own truths, well
Said today, "I'll get it straight"
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Pearls of wisdom, pearly gate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Pick your side now
Bet on your eternity, yeah
Your soul, hedge fund
What will be your tombstone sign?
Said today, "I'll get it straight"
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Roll the dice, choose your fate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Make war, make peace
Love those who pray the same
Heads bowed, give thanks
Praise be Who wins ball games
Said today, "I'll get it straight"
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Come on now, don't hesitate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Each wrong, each right?
This test has no answers, but
If I'm dead wrong
Next life, I'll get it straight
Wise men can't tell me and
Their scrolls can't tell me
Drug trips can't tell me and
Your eyes can't tell me
One day, I'll really see with
Who's there to greet me
Said today, "I'll get it straight"
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Pearls of wisdom, pearly gate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Roll the dice, choose your fate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Come on now, don't hesitate
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Swear one day, I'll get it straight
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Pearls of wisdom, pearly gate
You know I'm gonna get it straight
Swear one day, get it straight
Don't you know, I'm gonna get it straight
One of these days, hey get it straight
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
One of these days, you know I'm gonna work it on out
Work it out, get it straight
Now Peter, I can hardly wait
Get it straight, get it straight
Get it straight, I'll get it straight
I'll get it straight, I'll get it straight
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Work it out
