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

    And I was 'round 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

    I stuck around St. Petersburg
    When I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Tsar and his ministers
    Anastasia screamed in vain

    I rode a tank
    Held a general's 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 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 troubadours
    Who get killed before they reached Bombay

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed 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 guessed my name, oh yeah
    But what's confusing you
    Is just 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, um yeah
    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed my name, um yeah

    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
    Woo, who
    Oh yeah, get on down

    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah!
    Tell me baby, what's my name
    Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

    Tell me baby, what's my name
    I tell you one time, you're to blame
    Ooo, who
    Ooo, who

    Ooo, who
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who

    Ooo, who, who
    Oh, yeah
    What's my name
    Tell me, baby, what's my name

    Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who

    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who
    Ooo, who, who

    Oh, yeah"
