Sympathy for the Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste,
I've been around for a long long year stolen many man's soul and faith,
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain,
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate.
Pleased to meet you - hope you guess my name; but what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change,
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain,
I rode a tank held a Generals rank when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank,
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name. Oh yeah; ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah -
I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the Gods they made,
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all it was you and me.
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste - and I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay -
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah; but what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Oh yeah, get down, baby...
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game...
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints; as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need...
of some restraint.
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy and some taste,
Use all your well learned politesse
or I'll lay your soul
to waste.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
