A Fable With No Moral — текст песни (Quasi)

I went and sold my soul so I could pay my rent
I waited by the mail, but the check was never sent
So I called the Devil up, but I just got his machine
I left an angry message, said I gotta have the green
I didn`t give up then, but I made another plan
If Satan didn`t want my soul I`d sell it to the man
I tried to find the number, but it wasn`t in the book
I`d get the money anyhow, no matter what it took
No matter what it took

No paragon of virtue, at least I`m not a thief
It`s so easily justified but always leads to grief
So I got a piece of cardboard and made myself a sign
To sell my soul below the market rate was my design
I went down on the street and I tried to make the deal
A Land Rover drove right by with Satan at the wheel
He saw what I was doing and said

That`s not yours to sell!
You`ll get your check tomorrow
and I`ll see your ass in Hell
So you`d better spend it well
