Sympathy for the Devil

[Verse 1] Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and fate 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 [Chorus] Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game [Verse 2] I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for change I killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain And I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the Blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank [Chorus] Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game [Verse 3] I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the Gods they made I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all It was you and me [Verse 4] Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid tracks for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay [Chorus] Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game [Verse 5] Just as every cop is a criminal And all you sinner's Saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint [Verse 6] So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy and some taste Use all your well learned qualities Or I'll lay your soul to waste, hey [Chorus] Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
