Sympathy For The Devil Songtext
Please allow me to introduce myselfI'm a man of wealth and tasteI've been around for a long, long yearStole many a man's soul and fateAnd I was 'round when Jesus ChristHad his moment of doubt and painMade damn sure that PilateWashed his hands and sealed his fatePleased to meet youHope you guess my nameBut what's puzzling youIs the nature of my gameStuck around St. PetersbergWhen I saw it was a time for a changeKilled the Czar and his ministersAnastasia screamed in vainI rode a tankIn a general's rankWhen the Blitzkrieg ragedAnd the bodies stankPleased to meet youHope you guess my name, oh yeahWhat's puzzling youIs the nature of my game, oh yeahI watched the gleamWhile you kings and queensFought for ten decadesFor the Goth they madeI shouted out"Who killed the Kennedys?"When after allIt was you and meLet me please introduce myselfI'm a man of wealth and tasteAnd I laid tracks for troubadorsWho get killed before they reached BombayPleased to meet youHope you guess my name, oh yeahBut what's puzzling youIs the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, babyPleased to meet youHope you guess my name, oh yeahBut what's confusing youIs just the nature of my gameJust as every cop is a criminalAnd all the sinners SaintsAs I end this taleJust call me Lucifer'Cause I'm in need of some restraintSo if you meet meHave some courtesyHave some sympathy, and some tasteUse all your well learned qualitiesOr I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeahPleased to meet youHope you guess my name, um yeahBut what's puzzling youIs the nature of my game, um baby, get downTell me baby, what's my nameTell me honey, baby guess my nameTell me baby, what's my nameI tell you one time, your to blameWhat's me nameTell me, baby, what's my nameTell me, sweetie, what's my name
