Sympathy for the Devil

Down

Aw!

Ooh

Aw!

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long time

Stole many a man's soul and faith

I was around 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, oh yeah

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 (it was a time for a change)

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

Oh, pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name (oh, yeah)

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 gods they made

I shouted, "Who killed the Kennedys?"

After all, it was you and me

Let me, please, introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I laid traps for the troubadours

Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, yeah

Aw! Whoo!

Ah!

Oh, yeah (hoo-hoo)

Every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners are saints

Heads is tails, just call me Lucifer

I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy

Have some sympathy and taste

Use all your well-learned politesse

Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game (oh)

What's my name?

What's my name?

What's my name?

I am Lucifer

Whoa

Alright, you motherfuckers

What's my name?

What's my name?

I am the devil too

There can only be one devil, so one of us must go

Come on, baby, come on, baby

Come on, baby, come on, baby

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I am the devil too

There can only be one devil, so one of us must go

(I am the devil too)

(There can only be one devil, so one of us must go) I am the devil too

There can only be one devil, so one of us must go
