Tribute (Live) Lyrics

A long time ago...me and my brother Kyle here, 

We were hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road. 

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon, 

in the middle of the road. 

And he said, "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." 

Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other, and we each said... 

"Okay." 

And we played the first thing that came to our heads 

Just so happened to be, the best song in the world. 

It was the best song in the world. 

Oh, yeah. 

Oh, and it saved our butts, because the demon wanted to kill us. 

Oh. 

But he was forced to set us free, by the honor code that demons... 

Have to live by. 

Cause it's Satan's Surprise and it's magic! 

And it's a mystical disguise... 

It's the devil's song and it's tragic! 

You are the mystical-eyed virgin and you're rocking! 

Well needless to say, the beast was stunned. 

Whip crack, went the swampy tail, and the beast was done. 

He asked us, "Be you angels?" 

And we said "Nay! We are but men, rock!" 

This is not the greatest song in the world, no. 

This is just a tribute. 

Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no. 

No! This is a tribute, oh! 

To the greatest song in the world, alright! 

To the greatest song in the world, alright! 

It is just the best motherfuckin' song, the greatest song in the world. 

--skattin'-- 

Oh mama, Lucifer. 

And the peculiar thing is this, my friends: 

The song we played on that fatefull night, 

didn't actually sound anything like this song! 

This is just a tribute. 

You've gotta believe me. 

And I wish you were there. 

Just a matter of opinion. 

Ah! Fuck! 

Good god! And God lovin! 

There's no surprise to find you can't stop him! 

Rich motherfucker...
