09/26/2023 A satan that is evil

Hey, off-the-hook bassmaster! I give up. I could never figure out most of the lyrics to the Raging Wrath material and the only solution was when they started popping up in lyrics websites around the time of the release of the re-recording. All lyrics accounted for, but one... Evil Satan.
Do you have those lyrics? Could you share them with the world? It's mighty hard to figure out what Patton is singing, whether in the original Raging Wrath or in Bowel of Chiley. I know it's a hassle, but all those lyrics were a lot better than you guys give yourselves credit for. (I know Trey wrote Evil Satan, and I'll find a way to bug him about that too)
Even the subject matter of the lyrics would already be interesting, if you don't have the words handy. I mostly ask because you seem to be the tape custodian of the group, hence the most likely and accessible source.
Great job on that latest tour leg! You guys were TIGHT.

In fact, one last thing: in response to a bunch of my fellow bungle-heads crying to the wind about "why don't they get back with the W.B. era lineup like in the California days?", I usually write about two things and then erase it because why should I bother engaging people? But I'm curious as to what you think about these two points:
1 - Calling for Bär and Danny to return is fine and dandy, those guys are great. But wouldn't it make sense to consider how much of a role William Winant had in the live band between 1995 and 2000 as well? And he wasn't an "effective" band member, but he was so important. And a busy guy as far as I know!
2 - I have a feeling you guys aren't into just doing the California tour approach again, what with all the sampled parts from California and how the shows were a bit less... "dynamic" and variable than they were before, given the need to adhere to those sampled parts. So even if you guys reconvened with a more familiar lineup, I have a hard time picturing you guys retreading that ground in a way that would please people who just want "the same thing, again", but that wouldn't be tied to new material.
Whatever you guys do, I'm game. But I think it's a more complex endeavor than some people care to think about.

my answer:

Hm, Evil Satan…..something like
Evil Satan 666
Burn in Hell and get your kicks
Heaven is for fucking dicks

that’s all I remember.

1. I’m not sure why anyone would think we wouldn’t consider the role of Winant. He’s been a friend and colleague since the early ‘90s.
2. You are correct, it is a much more complex endeavor than anyone realizes, for many reasons. People love to toss out their opinions as if we can just snap our fingers and make things happen, but clearly how could they know not being on the inside? Thanks for being game to whatever; who knows, it might be nothing.
