Sympathy For The Devil

I was around when Jesus Christ 

had his moment of doubt and faith

And 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 puzzling you is the nature of my game 



I stuck around St. Petersburg, 

when I saw it was time for a change 

I 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 

But 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 God 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 lay traps for troubadours 

Who get killed before they reach Bombay 



Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name 

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



Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name 

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



Just as every cop is a criminal 

and all the sinners saints 

As head is tail, 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 politics 

Or I'll lay your soul to waste!
