Nice ‘N’ Neat

[Verse 1]
Through tunnel vision, watch him rant and rave
He says, "There's life beyond the grave"
He wants his slice of the eternal cake
Well, God's in His Heaven and He's on the take

[Chorus]
That's nice (That's nice) that's neat (That's neat)
It's bittersweet
Is it trick and treat?
You're talkin' fast but you're preaching feast now

[Verse 2]
Bits and pieces I remember slightly
It was a long time ago
We had our hot and holy conversations
And solve the problems of the drunken world
Now a clerical collar chokes at your convictions
You strangle slowly for the old addiction
It's Heaven's army and you're so professional
So listen closely to this closed confessional

[Chorus]
That's nice (That's nice) that's neat (That's neat)
It's bittersweet
Is it trick and treat?
You're talkin' fast but you're preaching feast now

[Verse 3]
We'd take a recipe for religion
And bring it to the theological kitchen
Mix it up to make our own concoction
Believed in God but you'd shake a fist at him

[Bridge]
And Ray, does it seem holy?
Hey Ray, does it seem hard?
And Ray, it isn't that easy, now

[Guitar Solo]
(Oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh)
(Oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh, oh-hoh-hoh)

[Verse 4]
You said you spoke to God and asked a question
You were wonderin' what's the use of it all
He said, "Everybody does what they want to"
Provided that, it's true, that's all
He said, "Hey, Big G" you said, "There's my problem
I'm not so sure 'bout what's true"
He said "I'll let you in on my big secret, Ray
The final truth is, there is no truth" and

[Outro]
(Na-na-na-na, bop shoo-wop shoo-wop)
(Na-na-na-na, Oh-oh-yeah)
(Na-na-na-na, bop shoo-wop shoo-wop)
(Na-na-na-na, Oh-oh-yeah)
(Na-na-na-na, bop shoo-wop shoo-wop)
(Na-na-na-na, Oh-oh-yeah)
(Na-na-na-na, bop shoo-wop shoo-wop)
That's all
