Sympathy For The Devil

It's funny just how life goes

How the waters of its rivers flows

I thought that my opinions would never change

That they would not alter in anything

That was until I met a certain person 

Short, stacky and thinking he was the cleverest of them all

I guess that was the day that

I had sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil

Sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil 

I am not a Satanist

Not at all

I am evil in way but not that evil

I can't believe that Satan has to deal with scum like that

I now have sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil

Every single hour of every single day

The hate grew to loath 

That little worm grew and grew in his arrogance

I swear that there was something not right with his mind

His childish tricks were aimed at anyone he thought weak

I guess his life has turned too bleak

But every single hour of every single day

I had sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil

Sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil 

I am not a Satanist

Not at all

I am evil in my own way but not that evil

I can't believe that Satan has to deal with scum like that

I now have sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil

I never dare to speak out loud about this

For it would bring shame upon my head

But my hate for him has hardened to lead

One day it will just spill out 

Spill out into the light

I fight the urge to do so with all my might

But I can't deny

I had sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil

Sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil 

I am not a Satanist

Not at all

I am evil in my own way but not that evil

I can't believe that Satan has to deal with scum like that

I now have sympathy, sympathy, sympathy for the Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil
