There was a glittering banquet at the Palace of Shame
10000 guests and every delicacy you could name
But no clue to who had provided it all
So I snuck into the kitchen at the back of the hall
And there, cooking with cheap and nasty knives 
I saw Jesus and the Devil and all their wives
Cooking with cheap and nasty knives
Cooking with cheap and nasty knives
Serving up the canapes of our lives
Jesus and the Devil and all their wives

I said, uh, how the devil do you make this work 
The heavenly harp and the pitchfork?
They said although we occasionally disagree
It's kind of like a democracy
And we're mostly working towards the same ends
Not so much enemies more like rival friends
Mostly working towards the same ends
Mostly working towards the same ends
Despite what your catechism pretends
Jesus and the Devil and all their friends

Well it shook me down to the soles of my boots
When I found those two were in cahoots
Working together behind the scenes
Corruption by all possible means
Invented by humans without faces
Keeping us firmly in our places
Ruling over presidents and kings
The final arbiters of all things

Well when it came my time to die
Weighed down by the terrible knowledge
I had learned back then I felt relieved
Knowing what would not be believed
There to meet me at the gates
Jesus and the Devil and all their mates
There to meet me at the gates
There to meet me at the gates
Beware what comes to he who waits
Jesus and the Devil and all their mates

There to meet me at the gates
There to meet me at the gates
Beware what comes to he who waits
Jesus and the Devil and all their mates
