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 Stole many a man's soul and faith I was around when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain I made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name Oh, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank, I held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank I'm pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name Ah, what's puzzling you Was the nature of my game 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 Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for the troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all you sinners saints What's heads is tails, just call me Lucifer I'm in need of some restraint 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 Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, ahh Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Hoo hoo, hoo hoo Hoo hoo Now tell me baby, what's my name Tell me sweetie, what's my name Tell me baby, what's my name Tell me one time, you're afraid Oh hoo Oh hoo hoo Oh hoo hoo What's my name?
