Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

Been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul and faith

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

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

But what's puzzlin' 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?"

Yeah, well, 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 reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name

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

Oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh, yeah

But what's confusin' you is the nature of my game, oh, yeah

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, yeah, woo

Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, awe, yeah

But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game, awe, yeah

Get down

Woo-hoo, awe, yeah

Oh, yeah

Woo

Da, da-da, da-da, da-da-da, yeah

Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, woo

Tell me, baby, woo

Tell me, baby, what's my name?

Tell me, honey, can you guess my name?

Tell me, baby, what's my name?

I'll tell you one time, you're to blame

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo

Woo, alright

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Woo-hoo-hoo, oh yeah, woo

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Oh, yeah, ah

What's my name?

Tell me, baby, what's my name?

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name, yeah?

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Woo-hoo-hoo
