Sympathy for the Devil

Yeow, yeow

Yeow

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

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 puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, ah yeah

I watched with glee (whoo-hoo)

While your kings and queens (whoo-hoo)

Fought for ten decades (whoo-hoo)

For the gods they made (whoo-hoo)

I shouted out (whoo-hoo)

"Who killed the Kennedy's?" (whoo-hoo)

When after all (whoo-hoo)

It was you and me (whoo-hoo)

Let me please introduce myself (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

I'm a man of wealth and taste (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

And I laid traps for troubadours (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Who get killed before they reach Bombay (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

But what's puzzlin' you (whoo-hoo)

Is the nature of my game, ah yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Get down, damn it

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo)

(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo)

(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo)

(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo)

(Whoo-woo)

Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

But what's confusing you (whoo-hoo)

Is just the nature of my game, mm yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Just as every cop is a criminal (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

And all the sinners saints (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

So if you meet me, have some courtesy (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Have some sympathy, and some taste (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)

Use all your well-learned politeness (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)

Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)

Pleased to meet you (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

But what's puzzlin' you (whoo-hoo)

Is the nature of my game, mean it (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

Get down

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) whoo-hoo

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) oh yeah, get on down

(Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo) oh, yeah
