Satan [Cmin 124bpm]<\/p>\n
There has to be some explanation<\/p>\n
For why you rose, or why you fell<\/p>\n
For those who claim it isn’t relative<\/p>\n
Consider that for a masochist, heaven is hell<\/p>\n
And while I look all around me<\/p>\n
and see a dark planet torn apart<\/p>\n
another might see in perfect beauty<\/p>\n
a mighty, tragic work of art<\/p>\n
I don’t know why the mighty flee<\/p>\n
to chase their childlike misery<\/p>\n
I don’t know why the mighty fall<\/p>\n
Indeed, I’m not clear on why they rise at all<\/p>\n
–Chorus<\/p>\n
We tell so many different stories<\/p>\n
Perhaps somewhere all of them are true<\/p>\n
Every man who ever wrote a religion<\/p>\n
Can read about his mistakes in you<\/p>\n
Satan, you genius, you recursed yourself<\/p>\n
Went to hell in perfect health<\/p>\n
God never guessed, never knew<\/p>\n
That his second in command was God too<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
So leaders, beware your followers<\/p>\n
Sometimes the sheep the shepherd have led<\/p>\n
Every person is a ticking time bomb<\/p>\n
There are some things better left unsaid<\/p>\n
I find it’s safer to just keep still<\/p>\n
And pray to God God never notices his own repair bill<\/p>\n
[Chorus]<\/p>\n
Give me a job with the least responsibility<\/p>\n
Give me a task which will never end<\/p>\n
Give me chains, but give me the key<\/p>\n
Give me the world inside of me<\/p>\n
