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 years
Stole a many man's soul and faith

I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate (aw!)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I 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 (aw!)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Oh, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, a-ha

I watched with glee as 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

So let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste (oh, yeah)
I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

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

Get down, you rich brat

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

Just as every cop's a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause 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 politics
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, oh

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

Tell me, baby, tell me what's my name
Tell me, honey, can you guess my name

Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho, oh

Tell me, honey, what's my name
Oh
Woman child
What's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Oh-yeah, oh-yeah, oh-yeah

Oh-yeah, oh-yeah
Oh, oh, oh yeah

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Milk-boy
Hey, what's Milk-boy?
