Me and the devil aren't really friends
but sometimes, we sit at one table
Who of you might get hurt
by the fact that he buys me a coke1 from time to time?
I judge people by their nature
not by their criminal record
So bartender, bring drinks for the two of us
A beer for me and a white spritzer2 for him
I have a different opinion on his work
just like I have a different opinion on each of his deeds
But I don't reject a conversation with him
I'm a citizen without prejudices
So why are you judging me, you dummy?
You can't smell sulphur from my mouth
You can hear the grass grow once again3
I'm only giving the devil my hand4
I don't have hooves and long body hair
I'm giving the devil my hand
He's only going to take the finger anyway
Me and the devil aren't really friends
I'm not crazy, unlike other people,
that want to exchange favours for their soul
I'm a man with an upright spine5
But why couldn't I have a laugh at his jokes
when he's fun to be with at the pub
and why not let him pay a beer or a rum for me
when he wants to be nice
I avoid what he does outside
Of course those things are terrible
So we spend nights drinking with each other
but we don't talk about work
So why are you judging me, you dummy?
You can't smell sulphur from my mouth
You can hear the grass grow once again3
I'm only giving the devil my hand4
I don't have hooves and long body hair
I'm giving the devil my hand
He's only going to take the finger anyway
Me and the devil aren't really friends
but sometimes, I take out his trash
I have no idea what's in the bags
and where it has lived before
I don't know what what will happen to the things I take out either
I don't stick my nose in other people's business
Let alone his business
I really want to completely disown it
No, me and the devil aren't buddies
No, I'm not friends with him
But he keeps spending money for me
I just owe it to him
So why are you judging me, you dummy?
You can't smell sulphur from my mouth
You can hear the grass grow once again3
I'm only giving the devil my hand4
I don't have hooves and long body hair
I'm giving the devil my hand
So why are you judging me, you stupid boy?
You can't smell sulphur from my mouth
You can hear the grass grow once again3
I'm only giving the devil my hand4
I don't have hooves and long body hair
I'm giving the devil my hand
1. cola, not cocaine2. wine mixed with water3. a. b. c. d. hearing the grass grow is a Czech saying meaning "to judge according to lies you think to be true"4. a. b. c. d. helping him5. contrary to not having a spine, which means being vile and mean, while only being interested in yourself
