EMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL: WHEN SATAN WEPT

"Won't somebody tell me,
Answer if you can,
I want somebody to tell me,
What is the Soul of a Man?"
(Blind Willie Johnson)

Once upon a time
When I was down
A big funny clown came up to me.
He bowed his head politely and said,
"Hey let's talk."

What the fuck?
Is all I could think,
As he snapped his fingers
And in a wink
I was laying on the couch of a shrink.

And he said:

"Sorry for that dirty little trick,
But you do seem quite quite sick."

So come on and take
One little hit!

For your soul
I'll make you whole, whole, whole:

Even those you hate
Will love you.
And you'll never
Have to be alone
With Yourself...no, no, no, no, no.
I'll fill your emptiness
With secrets just between us.
With me there's no need to confess...

No need to confess!

Confess....confess...no need to confess!

But please
Take it easy on me,
All this feeling just makes a mess!"

And i said:

"You won't get my sympathy!
Who you think you're talking to? Motherfucker I'm more Devil than you!

And hey Joker listen up,

Look at my brothers and sisters too,
We are all one Evil Rockin' Family and More Devil than you!"

"Well, let's get more into that pact.
Leave the feelings out, just the facts.

But in the meantime
come on and hit it!

For your soul
I'll make you lovable!

To everybody
To everybody
To everybody."

And then he got serious
And changed shape
To all those I still hate,
So I drew my sword.

(Two riders were approaching...
And the wind began to howl.)

And then he said,
"Ok, I'll be honest.
I'm not here to take your soul,
Fuck no!
The end is coming soon!
So kill me now!
And you can take my Throne!
You've earned it!
Just one more swing of your sword!
You've done it before!

And I said, "No!
Not anymore!"

...and sad ole Satan wept...
