Today we say goodbye
To a crazed murderer
He will be missed dearly
As much as Adolph Hitler.
He waged war with Heaven.
A fool he was indeed
To try to take out God,
Whose power one must heed.
He caused the fall of man
Cross-dressed as a serpent.
Now of his sins he’ll ne’er
Be able to repent.
Such a shame, really,
Because, to those of us
Who knew him best,
He wasn’t such an ass.
We always knew we had a friend
In drugs, and beer, and sex.
And the fire of hell we knew we’d face
Wasn’t such a vex.
But he died doing
What most he loved to do:
Tainting Catholic priests
With the altar youth.
But his legacy
Shall never die,
He’ll be remembered
For all his lies.
Every time we see
Somebody getting shot,
Somebody getting robbed,
Somebody smoking pot,
Every time we hear
Of a baby getting shaken,
Blood and guts, arson, war,
Genocide and famine,
We will think way back
To that name so strongly hated,
And say, “I remember
That damn bastard Satan.”
But maybe the most evil
Plague of his infection
Is the rigging of the
Two-thousand election.
But, peace be still,
All will be well,
Farewell, Satan,
See you in Hell!
