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 Czar 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
Oh, 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
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh, yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh, yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
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 Czar 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
Oh, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens

Let me please introduce myself

And I laid traps for troubadours

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh, yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh, yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh, yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh, yeah
