General JC Christian took note of a Utah(Utahnian?) man's declaration of Satan's role in illegal immigration. I was inspired to write some lyrics about God's wisdom in creating evil, for indeed all things come from God, including little shitballs from Utah.

The Greatest Story Ever Sold

We live in God's green garden
and frolic in the sun
we drink cabernet 'neath the Milky Way
then pass out when we are done

We live in fallen Paradise
but heck, it ain't so bad
we love the Lord and when we're bored
we tend to scratch our 'nads

But God, who is almighty
he really queered the pitch
he left a nasty loophole
for his favorite evil bitch

(chorus)
Everybody!
The greatet story ever sold
is the greatest tale, bar none
an all-powerful semitic deity
lets evil have some fun
satan is so rotten
he tortures everyone
who doesn't think that jesus
was god's begotten son
(pause)
or something like that...

God, in wisdom infinite
is both cause and then effect
he's got the skinny on all outcomes
he'd break Vegas I suspect

So when it came to evil
he truly knew what he had wrought
this is a guy you can't surprise
though with prayers he can be bought

And anything that brings sadness
pain, suffering and loss
has been given over to an angel
who takes heat for his dear boss

(repeat chorus)

God so loved mankind, we're told
he sacrificed his only son
which really was just him, you see
a large dose of Kingdom Cum

But that is not enough drama
to hold the masses rapt
and so Satan was invented
after-which God took a nap

Evil is as evil does
and Satan needs the work
God works in ways mysterious
God is love and quite the jerk

(repeat chorus)

We live in God's green garden
and frolic in the sun
we drink cabernet 'neath the Milky Way
then pass out when we are done

We live in fallen Paradise
but heck, it ain't so bad
we love the lord and when we're bored
we tend to scratch our 'nads

But God, who is almighty
he really queered the pitch
he left a nasty loophole
for his favorite evil bitch

(repeat chorus, damn you!)
