this song is explained very well on inmuseworld.net, they have most muse song meanings described on that website. here is the main part of the description from that site:
"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.
