Satan s First Deputy

[Verse 1]
A certain gentleman believes that money and power
Can buy him a passage to heaven.
Money and power — that familiar flower.
He doesn't see: that entrance can't be bought, not for any sum...
A wise and kind heart holds the power.
He doesn't see — all his thoughts are money and kingdom to come.

[Chorus]
Bam, bam, bam — I'll fix it all...
Bam, bam, bam — I can do it all...
Bam, bam, bam — they all owe me...
I'm Satan's first deputy!

[Verse 2]
How strong and sure is our Wanderer!
He wants to purchase a heavenly gate.
The Titanic was filled with those like him — squanderers,
Masters of fate who only knew how to cherish power and their estate.
They wanted to buy the heavenly gate.
Bam, bam, bam — to make heaven celebrate...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Our Gentleman forgot or never knew,
That gold wants to buy everything,
But the assassin takes it all with the blade, it's true.
They both want to purchase the heavenly ring.
Bam, bam, bam — heaven to delight...
Bam, bam, bam — heaven to excite...

[Chorus]

[Outro - spoken word]
You cannot buy the way to heaven.
You cannot steal it,
Take it by storm, or cheat it.
When you stop being the first scoundrel,
Sit in the back row,
And become the keeper of a wise and kind heart...
Who knows, who knows?
