well, "When You're Evil" was made specifically to make fun of the "edgey" sort of villains and subculture that comes with it, the guy is going on about how evil he is but most of his acts are petty and done purely as attention seeking.. it's kind of made to laugh at the way those kinds of groups work.

In the "Sympathy For the Devil" however it is taken seriously and is Lucifer introducing himself to the audience, telling us what he has done and then justifying it by claiming that humanity and demons are basically the same (and thus that humans should just stop trying to be good, since we're all just evil douchebags in his view).

anyway - like I said, your opinion is yours and yes it is mostly an evil guy saying how evil he is - the difference is that in "When You're Evil" they are doing it to make fun of the guy, who is an "edgey" attention-seeker, in "Sympathy For the Devil" it is basically Lucifer sticking his fingers up to the idea of there being a greater good.. since he claims there is none (so why bother to try).
