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 puzzlin' you is the nature of my game

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 puzzlin' you is 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

Mmm, yeah

Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name

Mmm, yeah

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

Mmm, mean it, get down

Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name

Mmm, yeah

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

Tell me baby, what's my name?

Tell me honey, can you guess my name?

Tell me baby, what's my name?

Ooo hoo, ooo hoo, oooo hoo

Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo

Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo
