Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for long long years

Stolen 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 guessed my name

But what's puzzling you is 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 my self

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I lay traps for troubadors

Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all 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

Have some taste

Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Please to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
