Galaxy [00:05.97] [00:06.68]There was a spinning ball of [00:08.36]Water and rock ruled by the forces of evil [00:12.30] [00:13.45]The Devil himself [00:14.42] [00:15.10]Proud of the magnificent achievements of his children [00:17.80] [00:18.40]Decided to call a special banquet [00:20.70]For the greatest thieves in all the land [00:22.85] [00:23.87]He sent invites to thousands of the greatest murders [00:27.21]Rapists and general-assorted scum [00:29.46] [00:30.13]Inviting them to attend his palace [00:31.72] [00:32.30]At the dawn of the new moon [00:33.79] [00:34.80]Each thief would be given a chance to stake his claim [00:38.57]As the greatest messenger of murder upon the planet [00:41.74] [00:42.39]And the Devil himself would then [00:44.59]Decide who should be crowned king [00:47.47] [00:48.79]After many days of deliberating [00:50.51] [00:51.15]All of the petty thieves [00:52.59]Such as street criminals [00:53.97]Have been found far short [00:55.32]Of the required level of wickedness [00:57.20] [00:57.92]And there were just four sets of thieves [00:59.62] [01:00.15]Left in the competition [01:01.71] [01:02.83]They were: the monarchs of empire [01:05.22] [01:06.15]A cartel of bankers [01:07.32] [01:08.14]The heads of religious orders [01:09.25] [01:10.09]And the third-world dictators [01:11.31] [01:12.42]Each set of thieves appointed a spokesman [01:15.09]To give his case to the Devil [01:17.13] [01:17.98]We have recorded these events for posterity [01:20.99] [01:24.77]Uh listen [01:27.55] [01:30.72]Uh okay yo [01:32.66] [01:36.13]First up

murdered the elected president [01:53.55]He wanted to use the resources [01:54.82]Of our country for our peoples' benefit [01:56.95]I proved to masters in the west [01:58.42]I could kill my own people just as well as the best [02:00.00]So I took over the so-called independent country [02:02.36]When the foreigners left [02:03.57]Sent squads of death to those who would suggest [02:05.30]In power should be the one they elect [02:06.96]Erected a statue of the great man [02:08.63]That raped our mothers stole our lands [02:10.44]That's how little self-respect I have [02:12.00]Don't fight slavery
