[God's Hat 1]
Yes you can follow a religion, ponder the meaning of life, perform austerities, meditate in the forest, study your holy books, bathe in the sacred rivers, donate your wealth to missionaries, preach to those you regard as fallen souls ... but all I really want is you to play nice
[Chorus]
Play nice, play nice, play nice, play nice x 2
[God's Hat 2]
Yes you can attend a mosque, a synagogue, a church, a temple, worship me amongst a congregation of believers, bow down, kneel down, sing your hymns, chant your mantras, ring your bells, practice your rites of passage, observe religious festivals ... but what I really want is you to play nice
[Repeat Chorus]
[God's Hat 3]
Yes you can fast from food and water, avoid flesh of certain animals, or even be a pure vegetarian. But keep in mind that all living beings are my children, your brothers and sisters, family - and not just humans, wherever you find life a part of me is present ... and all I really want is you to play nice
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
All I really want, all I really really want is you play to nice
David's songs are generally confessional or observational in nature, sometimes comedic or ironic, mostly of philosophical or theosophical subject-matter ... often in the form of imagined dialogue with God.
