Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones)
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year, stolen many a man' soul and faith,
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moments of doubt and pain,
I 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 just the nature of my game.
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Zar 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
But what's puzzlin' you is just 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,
So let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste,
And I lay traps for them troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you is just the nature of my game.
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints,
As heads is tail, just call me Lucifer, 'cos 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.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you is just the nature of my game.
