A Little Sympathy For The Devil, Please

Although there’s still some disagreement regarding the final terms it looks like we’ve struck a tentative deal with the “Death to America” crowd. We had to employ our “by hook or by crook” tactics butt it paid off; there’s no longer a question where our sympathies lie.

Sympathy For the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith

Which led Prime Minister Netanyahu to warn that “it would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a horrific war.”

And I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

It’s hard to fathom what evil spurred the “Arab Spring.” Better we should spend our time reflecting on the Christian Good Friday and the Jewish Passover today.
