“Flesh and blood amongst war machines You're the new god we're worshipping Promise to be dazzling”
Angela & Uncle Jerry identify the chorus's bargain — take the glory, give everything — as Faustian. Uncle Jerry explicitly says 'this is Faustian' and compares it to Dr. Faustus selling his soul to the devil for knowledge and power. The song's fame bargain (promise to be dazzling in exchange for giving everything) mirrors the Faustian pact where the cost of the gift is the soul itself.
“I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger”
Uncle Jerry mentions Faust by Goethe as a 'deal with the devil' reference echoed in the song's chorus line about making deals with the devil. He groups it with other deal-with-the-devil narratives (Bedazzled, Damn Yankees) as contributing to the song's thematic register.
