The Devil Went Down To Washington

The devil went down to Washington to see what he would see Ah yes he said everything looks real good to me Everything is sliding down as I have planned it That phrase “under God”: they have all but banned it. This is sweeter than in the days of Adam and Eve, Appeal to their almighty pride and they’ll believe, any old thing I wish them to perceive, or ridiculous philosophy I may conceive. “I” the great perpendicular pronoun, they all love that delightful sound! By using their pride I can steer them. forcing the meek to fear them. Those prime time commercials were my special inspiration, The ones that reinforce their economic and ego inflation, with the phrase “I buy this product because, “I’m Worth it!” Or my favorite humility killer, “because I Deserve it!” It’s so funny! They all think they do! They stick to their mirrors like glue While sliding in their own poo! My what a little vanity can do! Makes me feel like singing! As my dark angels are winging “Glory, glory well for me-ee Glory, glory hell to thee-ee Glory, glory hell to we-ee I’ll have more compan-eeeeee!
