There's an angel at my table, there's a devil by my side

which one should I follow 

I just can't decide

the angel passes me a plate

and jesusblood a brim full cup

the devil whispers in my ear

a warning

"Dont give up!

dont' give your life to such a nerd

there's more to life 

let me be heard

you don't need to give up fun

come with me

live life on the run."

now the angel with a peaceful smile 

passes me an A4 file

with all the evil in the world 

written down 

the myths unfurled

and says

"All of this is down to him

no need to read

just take a skim

take a look at what he does

and come on back to the lord above."

But now the devil, angry now

says "he's a liar, and I'll tell you how

look at religion and all it's done

there are millions on the run

from bullets, bombs 

and all the rest

because they think their god is best.

There are women in the church

trampled down in the search

for godliness, and all things pure,

by male religious leaders,

and more.

There are starving kids on the streets of Rome

while the pope sits on his stately throne.

Christianity's done it's best

to destroy the religions

of the rest

of the world."

the devil relaxes

his wings unfurl

he stands there looking mighty proud

says very clear

and very loud,

"I've never pretended to be good,

I enjoy life, it's understood,

but that old hypocrite called god, 

sits on his throne

I find it odd, 

he doesn't even come himself

he just plocks an angel off the shelf,

and then he claims he wants your soul,

I don't think so

very drole."

Now the angel

(who was plocked from the shelf)

was angry enough to grow horns himself,

he says "come on devil let's be straight

this home of yours is a place of hate

a place thats filled with hell and high water

a place of constant slavery and torture."

Now it was the devil's turn to laugh

he says "you've never seen my gaff,

you just beleive all of god's lies."

The devil relaxes, 

he starts to sigh

"He's been doing this for ever,

Although I admit he was very clever

to send his lying, bastard son

to spread the word,

the death of fun.

I mean Heaven, now really

I wouldn't be seen dead there."

says the devil as he pulls up his great big red chair.

He sits on back, puts his hooves on the table

and says "I'm going to have fun as long as I m able,

and the place to do it quite frankly is hell

and that is something that god knows well.

That's why he spreads the lies about the slavery and the flames

and all the other ridiculous claims.

"My home, quite frankly, 

is a hell of a place."

says the devil

with a hint

of a smile

on his face.
