Lirik
True repentance is to admit in all humility, you see, that you are not a saint
And therefore, you better not go fooling people that you are, because they will rely on you and then be disappointed
Everybody takes the shortcuts. Everybody plays tricks
Everybody has in himself an element of duplicity
Deception
The element of irreducible rascality
You are totally selfish
That you don't have a good thing to be said for you at all
You are a complete, utter rascal
You see, it's always the devil
The unacknowledged one
The outcast. The scapegoat
The bastard. The bad guy
You see, the black sheep of the family
It's always from that point
which we could call the fly in the ointment
That generation comes
In other words, in the same way as in the drama
to have the play, it's necessary to introduce a villain
It's necessary to introduce a certain element of trouble
There has to be the shadow
Because without the shadow, there can't be the substance
A complete man, a woman, includes the angel as well as the animal
Reason and the passions
And all those aspects of us
Indeed, the great triumph of humanity
is to be able to be both angel and devil
Reasonable and passionate
Both mystic and sensualist
It isn't, you see, only the goodness in human beings is to be trusted
They are also to be trusted to be a little bad
They are to be trusted to be selfish
Because you know, a person who is not frank about selfishness
is a big troublemaker
