Sympathy for the devil A phrase we all know It means to be understanding Of a man who cant tell
Who cant tell the difference Between what is good and bad Who cant desipher the code And so they live bottled up and sad
It means to take righteous And stuff it in a box For its not strong enough, Barely a bull, or an ox
We need something more A tank would suffice A super charged righteous And even still...on thin ice
It takes a great man To stand up and say "Im just as bad as you" The irony is plain...
How could a man with such talent... For good... be brought to lesser By the very words he brewed
Sadly it is so That great evil be marked As the final word in all the world When it was the good that provided the start
The start to say "sorry" "I admit i did wrong It is my fault too" As they sing that apology song
Then the darkness takes over The advantage clearly sought They know of bad charecter, Except their own-they know not
The devil replies with a smirk And always strolls on Steam rolling the righteous The tank is now gone
My point is just this... Please apretiate the man Who can apear before great evil And say "i will take a stand"
For this he is wise And couragous as well He knows he's not perfect Which is what makes a perfect angel
Be righteous more than anything, u will get steamrolled, trampled, used, and abused, but all that will happen anyway, its better in the end to say "i would have done the same" and with a proud understanding, be set free of emotional obligation for revenge, anger, frustraition, or any other emotion that would harm your mental tranquility, it feels better...i learned this lesson...long ago
