I was there the night they say that
Bobby Dylan killed the music
I was there the day they nailed up
Sweet Jesus to the cross
I was there that Sunday morning when
Pearl Harbor turned to flame
I was there, I took that road,
I know the names.

I was there the day that Joan Beaz sang
"Joe Hill" at Woodstock
I was there among the sailors when they brought
The Bismark down
I was there with Patty Hearst when the robbed
That bank in 'Frisco
I was there, I felt the heat,
I heard the sound.

I was there in Aistin, Texas when the shots rang out on campus
I was there beside the mountain when he brought those tablets down
I was there at City Lights and I drank the poets' wine
I was there, I felt the Beats,
I heard the ryhme.

I was there that afternoon when the shot down
Martin Luther
I was there in New York City when
The nighty towers fell
I was there 10 thousand years before the
White Man came to conquer
I was there, I smelt the air,
I gave a HOWL!!

I was there in Hiroshima, and again in Nagasaki
I was there with Sonny Liston when the
Old Champ finally fell
I was there out on that sidewalk when they took away
John Lennon
I was there, I met their stares,
I held my ground.

I was there when ol' Papa met his end in Ketchum
I was there in Paris when the German flag came down
I was there up in Seattle when Nirvana came a callin'
I was there, I was there...
I loved that town.

I was there on up in Heaven when Jehovah got all jealous
I showed him I was smarter, and craftier by far
I told Him, we could work together, you know,
Share the Glory
But He never was the kind to play along.

Some have called me Lucifer, others- simply Satan
Maost make me to anything they'd never want to be

But some can see beyond...
Almost to the root...

And know that both sides of the lie equal the truth.
