Sympathy för de Düvel

Irgendwie ist mir heute danach, in Zeiten, in denen Kriminelle als Sünder gelten, Steuerkriminelle als Steuersünder. “I’m a man of Wealth and Taste.” Die Hoenesse dieser Welt sind wohl allesamt wohlhabende, reiche Männer mit Geschmack. Natürlich.

Please allow me to introduce myself

I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game  (…)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (…)
