Why would you not believe
Unless there was something in it for you
You know
That, what’s in it for me, modern mentality
Similarly
Why would you believe
Unless, you know
Just to edge your bets
So
As you lay on the bench
And your alter-ego
Stands in the church
Both of you
Deep in contemplation
Meanwhile the scientist waves his wand
And turns water into wine
(It is a fairly old trick but still works)
At the same time someone in the congregation
Asks Bill Withers’ widow
Is it still
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
