were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school.

  D                           
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff

          G                                 A
and they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom.

         never settled on a name.

         D

              G                 A                            D*  G A
were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers.

          D 
Jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed

     G                              A
for stage lights and Learjets, and fortune and fame.

        D

        G                           A
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.

   G                    A
This was how Cyrus got sent to the school 

            D                       G
where they told him he'd never be famous.

     G
And this was why Jeff, 

         A
in the letters he'd write to his friend,

D                  G
helped develop a plan to get even.

           D
When you punish a person for dreaming his dream,

         G                            A
don't expect him to thank or forgive you.

    D

         G                        A
will in time both outpace and outlive you.

     D*     D    G       A
Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight!

     D*     D     G       A  D
Hail Satan! Hail, hail!
