The Boomtown Rats — 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 bitter and it's sweet 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 bitter and it's sweet 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
