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 to waste

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 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

Ah, what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, come on, come on, come on

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

Ah yeah, what's puzzling 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? 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
