Take, take all you need
And I'll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell, and I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But just the good days
Sane, it'll make you insane
And he's bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh
Hope, and I hope you've seen the light
'cause no-one really cares
They're just pretending
Sell, and I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But you can keep the bad days
Sane, it'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh
Sane, it'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh
And I'll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell, and I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But just the good days
Sane, it'll make you insane
And he's bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh
Hope, and I hope you've seen the light
'cause no-one really cares
They're just pretending
Sell, and I'll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But you can keep the bad days
Sane, it'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh
Sane, it'll make you insane
And I'm bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you're losing
You watch this space
And I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm a priest God never paid
Ooooh

"Faust [a character from an ancient legend dating back to the early years of christianity] sold his soul to the devil for fulfillment of his earthly desires.
"Muse’ The Small Print, is based on this story. The song is taken from the Devil’s prospective. “The priest God never paid” is the devil. Small prints are the texts on a contract who’re typed in very tiny font, mostly it has some tricks."
this song is fascinating because it is told from the devil's perspective .. yet another great muse song, what can i say.
for more info on the faust legend, or other muse songs, i definitely recommend inmuseworld.net.
Whenever I listen to this song I just get into this rampage and all of this anger just unleashes inside of me. This songs has like actually made me hit like door and stuff!!!!!!
Intense!
in some ways it could also be like a song to his fans. like his groupies are his minions and he is like this dark prophet of the 21st century. and so he feeds off the energy he gets from the tortured souls of his fans. i get this feeling from a few bands' lyrics like muse and also rivers cuomo a little. i think their music is cool, but sometimes i feel like it is a bit draining on the soul...
The Small Print...

Coincidence? I think not!
