Tonight, I will go against my conscience
Go to meet my friends at the club
Even though I am now totally convinced
Rock is the music of the fallen cherub

They say that the devil has the best tunes
But listen to music at the Protestant Reformation
People were enthralled into appreciative silence
It was the pinnacle of artistic sophistication

What started off as a possessed bluesman
Led to the revolution of rock and roll
You cannot tell me that Jerry Lee Lewis
Did not have demons that rocked his soul

That’s why Little Richard became a preacher
After Jesus Christ removed his torment
Sure he could rip it up all night long
But in the morning his heart was cement

Elvis Presley was no angel either by the way
In spite of his clean cut all American good looks
Let’s not forget he was an adulteress paedophile
Fortunately for him his handlers were also crooks

Then we have the four horsemen of the apocalypse
John, Paul, George and Ringo after they dumped Best
Lucifer’s disciples must show their hearts of stone
Before they’re allowed to see the secrets of the rest

The Rolling Stones were the next bunch of nasties
To lead the world on a merry satanic dance

Singing about the devil with Hells Angels security
Do not think the evil at Altamont happened by chance

Ask Geezer Butler how Black Sabbath got it’s name
He will tell you it was from a demon at his bed
Before that the group couldn’t write a song
After that Satan himself lived inside mental Ozzy’s head

Now we come to the pinnacle of Rock’n’roll
The band who were masters at their craft
Jimmy Page even owned Aleister Crowley’s house
But they were cursed as sorcery is daft

After that for me the devil changed his tune
He no longer needed to produce great art
People are dumbed down enough now
To entertain them all he has to do is fart

We can see the result of his flatulence
In the likes of Kylie, Madonna and Jay Z
Don’t forget Eminem is a Master Mason
Fishing for lost souls now Christ is so easy

So I will partake in the devil’s wine and song
Maybe a few demons will manage to sneak in
I guess that is the price I will have to pay
Especially when I willingly engage in sin

It is a pretty hard lesson to learn though
It is certainly one I would rather ignore
But once you start on the road to salvation
It seems you have to turn into a frightful bore

Still better that than burning for eternity

That to me seems too high a price to pay
So maybe this could be the last time I go out
And let my hair down the old-fashioned way

Cheers!
