Sermon is about how the writer is wondering where God was when he faced a bunch of troubles. And how he’s tired of religions cramming their beliefs down people’s throats. He tells the churches that he doesn’t want to be “up or down” as in Heaven or Hell. He just wants to be himself.
[Intro]
Go!
[Verse 1]
Where was God
When I needed a friend?
And where was God
When I came to an end?
Where was God
When I lost my mind?
Where was God
When I couldn't find?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna be up or down
Don't wanna be up or down
Don't wanna be up or down
I don't wanna be up or down
[Verse 2]
Where was love
When I felt like hate?
Where was hate
When I felt like love?
Where were you
When you said you'd be there?
Where was the fear
When I said I was scared?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna be up or down
Don't wanna be up or down
I don't wanna be up or down
I don't wanna be up or down... Why?
[Chorus]
Tell me what you believe
(Tell me what you believe)
I'll tell you what you should see
(I'll tell you what you should see)
I don't know who to trust
(Tell me what you believe)
My heart is filled with disgust
[Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]
I can't take this now!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Tell me what you believe
(Tell me what you believe)
I'll tell you what you should see
(I'll tell you what you should see)
I don't know who to trust
(Tell me what you believe)
My heart is filled with disgust
(I'll tell you what you should see)
Tell me what you believe
(Tell me what you believe)
Tell me what you believe...
[Interlude: Spoken]
"Ladies and gentlemen...
May I have your attention?
Are you ready for the joke?
Are you ready for the great deception?!"
[Chorus]
God! (Tell me what you believe) God!
God! (Tell me what you believe) God!
Woah! (Tell me what you believe)
Aah-ah (Tell me what you believe) Ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Aah-ah (Tell me what you believe) Ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Aah-ah (Tell me what you believe) Ahh-ahh-ah-ah
Aah-ah... Ahh-ahh-ah-ah...
Aah-ah... Ahh-ahh-ah-ah...
[Outro: Backwards]
Ladies and gentlemen:
Tell me what you believe
