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?

Oh hoo hoo

Oh hoo hoo

Aah, yeah

What's my name?
