Sympathy for the devil
Jagger & Richards
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long-time, stolen many a man's soul and fate
I was around when Jesus Christ had his moments of doubt and faith
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what puzzling you is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw there was a time for a change
I killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank in a general's rank when blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what puzzling you is the nature of my game
I watched with glee how your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out: Who killed the Kennedy's? And 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 the troubadours who got killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what puzzling you is the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal, and every sinner saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'course I'm in need of some restrain
So if you me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all of your well learned politest, or I'll lay your soul away
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what puzzling you is the nature of my game
